What is The bumblebee garden about?

Ben and Grandpa are working in the garden when Ben discovers a fuzzy bumblebee sheltering from the cold. As the seasons change, Ben learns how bumblebees grow from eggs into larvae, spin cocoons and emerge as adult bees. He also discovers how bees carry pollen between flowers, helping strawberries and other plants grow. When Ben wonders how people can help the bees, he and Grandpa find ways to make their garden a safer, friendlier place for these important insects.
