Bees are tireless workers. Since they were little, they seek the nectar of flowers to then manufacture wax and honey. But the bee in this story was born different. Her name is Dulce and the sugar makes her dizzy short of breath. With the help of the sisters, Dulce tries to find a way to be like the rest of the hive. This touching – and also surprising – story is about universal values like loss and acceptance. Mixing humor and lyricism, Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós invites each reader to extract a different flavor from this small masterpiece.
