What reading level is The Bee People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the bee puts a little drop in the bottom of a cup it tends to stick fast.
A cellful of honey, however, is not sticky enough to keep from running out, as we know when we take oif the cover to a honey-comb cell. To help the honey to stay in, the cells, as we know, are tilted up a little.
The cells are small, and the liquid honey tends to remain in a small cell, just on that account, — which is a matter for Physics to explain. Then, when Miss Apis has her Honey -Comb' 115 cell nearly full, sh...e begins to put a cover over it. She begins at the bottom of the cell to put on this "cap," as it is called, and by the time she has finished the cap, the cell is as full of honey as she can get it, but there is a little air left in, which acts as a cushion, and keeps the honey from running against the cap.
So there is her honey-cup, filled and sealed.
Miss Apis fills her honey cell rather slowly, and leaves it uncapped for a few days until the extra water evaporates and the honey is " ripened." You know very well that if you have molasses in an open dish, it becomes thicker as time goes on ; that is because it loses its water by evaporation, and that is exactly what happens when honey is left uncapped for a while.
