The Good Bee
A Celebration of Bees – And How to Save Them
-
<p>Bees are <b>enigmatic creatures</b> that have long attracted human admiration and fascination. But even more than that, they are a key lynchpin in the workings of the entire natural world. And we’re not just talking about honey bees. <br><br>There are<b> over 20,000 species</b> of bees worldwide and only a handful of those actually make honey. Some live in colonies but others are solitary. We can all help protect them – and they desperately need protecting – but <b>you can’t save what you don’t love</b>. And you can’t love what you don’t know. <br><br><i>The Good Bee</i> is <b>a celebration of this most vital and mysterious of nature’s wizards</b>. Here you’ll discover the complexities of bee behaviour – as well as the intriguing bits that continue to baffle us – the part they play in the natural world, their relationship with us throughout history, how <b>they are already under serious threat</b>, and, crucially, <b>what we can all do about it</b>.<br><br>Beautifully produced, with <b>hand-made illustrations</b> throughout, this is an essential handbook and a <b>book to treasure</b>.</p>
