were pen pals. Leslie Tryon’s intricate and
colorful illustrations make the unique

One Bee Too Many
Illustrations by Kim Amate
Problem Solving, Tolerance, Conflicts, Violence
and War
3–5 GR: L
One fine day, the bees called for a grand
assembly in the beehive. The purpose of the
meeting? To discuss why it was that they
were always all squashed together in cramped
working conditions. After many complex
computations, equations, and calculations,
they realized that there was one bee too
many in their beehive! The bees panicked:
Who was it? How would they identify her?
And once they did, what would they do with
her? Through entertaining illustrations and
humor, this delightful story explores such
serious topics as prejudice and tolerance.
