What reading level is The Life of the Bee book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But this indifference is not shared by all ; and when the breathless queen has reached the alighting-board, some groups will form and accompany her into the hive ; where the sun, hero of every fes- tivity in which the bees take part, is enter- ing with little timid steps, and bathing in azure and shadow the waxen walls and curtains of honey. Nor does the new bride, indeed, show more concern than her people, there being not room for many emotions in her narrow, barbarous, prac- 318 The Nuptial F...light tical brain. She has but one thought, which is to rid herself as quickly as pos- sible of the embarrassing souvenirs her consort has left her, whereby her move- ments are hampered. She seats herself on the threshold, and carefully strips off the useless organs, that are borne far away by the workers ; for the male has given her all he possessed, and much more than she requires. She retains only, in her spermatheca, the seminal liquid where millions of germs are floating, which, un- til her last day, will issue one by one, as the eggs pass by, and in the obscurity of her body accomplish the mysterious union of the male and female element, whence the worker-bees are born.
