A tiny queen. A remarkable journey. And a gentle story of courage, kindness and love.

Meet Bertie, a cheerful bumblebee buzzing through colourful wildflower meadows in search of nectar and adventure. But when he meets Bettie, a young queen facing an uncertain future, their story becomes one of courage, kindness and the extraordinary lifecycle of one of our best-loved pollinators.
Told in engaging rhyme and filled with beautiful watercolour-style illustrations, Humble Bumble weaves real bumblebee facts naturally into a story young children can enjoy again and again.
As Bertie and Bettie's adventure unfolds, children discover how bumblebees live, find partners and begin the next generation, while learning how protecting wildflowers can help them thrive.
