This third and final adventure featuring crime-solving pair Bee and Flea explores how the backyard critters adapt and prepare for winter

The weather is turning cold, and Bee notices that the animals in the big backyard are acting … odd. Flea is uncharacteristically sleepy, the yard is strangely quiet, and then there’s the commotion at the compost heap—a huge, round, orange object is looming over the earthworms!

Bee and her new friend Fuzz, a woolly bear caterpillar, can’t convince a very tired Flea to help, so Bee turns to her old bee colony for back up. She soon learns, however, that there’s no real emergency at all, and that the changes to the yard, including Flea’s sleepiness, are perfectly normal adaptations for the coming winter.

This latest addition to the hilarious chapter book series follows F.L.E.A. agent Bee and her new friend Fuzz on an exciting adventure full of STEM content that introduces readers to seasonal changes and animal life cycles.
