Bees on the Roof (Paperback) (Robbie Shell)

Sam needs to find a seventh-grade science fair project AND a way to save the restaurant where his father works. When he enrolls three friends in an effort to raise bees on a hotel roof in New York City, the complications multiply. Bee sting allergies, a great bee die-off, a rival team's cheating, a mysteriously reclusive science teacher, and Sam's romantic feelings for a classmate make the bee project anything but simple. Lots of facts about bees and Colony Collapse Disorder give this book a firm scientific basis.
