Andrena is a genus of bees in the Andrenidae family. Here, author and illustrator Elaine Sedgman uses the graphic novel format to mix fact and science and a bit of invention to present challenges that an Adrena bee must face in her life cycle. Adrena has only 2 weeks to dig a tunnel 25 times her length. In doing so, she must dodge farm equipment to find a suitable place to dig her home. She must protect herself and her babies from the vagaries of weather and marauders who want only to destroy her eggs. This is her adventure.
