Welcome to Episode #144 of Everything Under the Sun!

This week Molly answers a fabulous question from Mollie about bees and their stingers, and another brilliant question from David about why we see light as colour. Bestselling and beloved children's author Chris Haughton answers a wonderful question from Brooklynne about when we started doing maths.

We'll learn about which bees do and don't have stingers, why bees are so important to plants, what's in our eyeballs that help us see colours, and Chris Haughton tells us how an ancient civilisation invented much more than just maths!

Chris' new book, The History of Information, is the first non-fiction book from the picture book superstar. It is a graphic handbook to the biggest influence on human history: information. The journey from the first splash of paint on cave walls, 50,000 years ago to powerful AI that drives information in our lives today. It's available to buy now on Amazon or wherever you like to get your books!

Happy listening everyone!
