This story was selected as one of the OVERALL WINNERS for the Collins Big Cat Writing Competition 2023. Our judge, Mio Debnam, gave the feedback below: "It was this quality of scientific curiosity and the research that she obviously did to try to satisfy it, that struck me about Elzahraa’s entry. But her entry is not a dry list of scientific facts – it’s been arranged in a lovely narrative arc that takes us from Elzahraa’s life – so we learn a bit about her and her mum, before it takes us into a deep dive into busy lives of bees, then back to her life again. Along the way, she also tells us what she’s learnt about bees and honey in a creative and engaging manner!" Well done, Elzahraa!
