Did you know that bees dance to communicate with one another?

You are awesome and smart so you might have already known that. 

But did you know that bees make Royal Jelly? That’s right! Royal Jelly is a food made by worker bees for larvae who will grow up to be queens! 

Where did I learn these awesome facts about bees you may ask? 

From a wonderful book called ‘B Is For Beekeeping’ which is an alphabet book by Justin Weiss made for kids and bee lovers! 

The best part of the book is that a portion of proceeds go to supporting nonprofits that support the conservation and protection of honeybees! It doesn’t get much better than that as far as Lexy The Rap Dad is concerned. 

Justin Weiss and his family are from a small homestead outside of Dallas, Texas and they started backyard beekeeping in 2017. They love working together as a family to care for their garden, chickens and beehives.

This is my favourite behind the scenes story for sure! Many of you are familiar with our best selling ‘Farts’ book and the Farts Rap-A-Long song on YouTube but not everyone knows how they came to be.

A few years ago I was very excited to be returning to my elementary school, Lakeside P.S, to share my Friendly Fables stories with their elementary students. 

I arrived in the library and was greeted by smiling, eager faces. I could picture myself as a young boy in the crowd, so I really wanted my performances that day to be special.
