There was that book about the two friends, where the one friend pokes a beehive with a stick and the bees swarm him and it turns out he was allergic to bees and then he dies and I think his mom brings the other kid a pie or maybe it's the other way around.

Either way, we read that in 4th grade. We never had to read Terebithia, although my son likes that story. I won't let him read the bee book.

Sounds kind of like My Girl, one of the few films that can make me cry.
I think it might have been "In Watermelon Sugar". Yeah, that's the one.
