Greedy bee doesn't want to share the nectar he has found and ends up fat and tired. He sleeps so long, it is dark when he awakes and cannot find his way. If not for his new friends, he wouldn't have gotten home. Greedy bee learns his lesson to share. (

This book was about a greedy bee not sharing and getting himself into some trouble. Finally he is helped out by some friends. It could be read to teach children to share and the importance of not being greedy with their things. (

Book description

A greedy bee guzzles nectar and gobbles pollen, and won't share with anyone. One day the bee comes upon a meadow full of juicy blossoms. He goes from flower to flower, slurping up all he can, all the while growing fatter and fatter, until he is unable to fly home.
