It was a great pleasure to cook and photograph the kids and the final dishes.

And while writing the short stories about the bees, I learned so much more about these small fantastic creatures! I am really a bigger fan of them than ever. If one knows how much it takes to make honey, it makes one much more sensible for this great product.

But also the illustrations, the design of the book have been a good challenge for me, but I think I succeeded quite well.

Many thanks to Elena Pini, my graphic design consultant and to Christine Hinnen editorial 🙂

And of course a great THANK YOU to the whole Bee-Family with all the kids, decorations, recipe ideas and a great deal of cooing helped a lot to make it such a nice book.

Have fun cooking (if you can read German)
