In a group of 3-5, answer the following questions. Find at least three specific examples from the book to answer your question. Each person in the group has to write down the page number and part of the quote. You don't have to answer this paragraph form. We will discuss it first.
1. Why is the novel entitled "The Secret Life of Bees"?
"Most people don't have any idea about the complicated life going on inside the hive. Bees have a secret life we don't know anything about"(148.) Lilly, too, has a secret life . . .
"Honeybees require depend not only on physical contact . . require social companionship . . . isolated bees will die" (136.) Lilly becomes close to Rosaleen and August and even June . . .

2. How does Lily change after she goes to August's house?
