<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Bees need our help. But you can't save what you don't love. And you can't love what you don't know. The Good Bee is a celebration of this most vital and mysterious of nature's wizards.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Bees are our most loyal allies. These fascinating, enigmatic creatures are a key lynchpin in the working of our planet. Without them the landscape, as well as every aisle in our supermarkets, would look radically different. And we're not just talking about honey bees. There are more than 20,000 species of bee worldwide and only a handful make honey. Some live in colonies and others are solitary. We can all help protect them--and they desperately need protecting--but you can't save what you don't love. And you can't love what you don't know. <i>The Good Bee </i>is a celebration of this most vital and mysterious of nature's wizards. Here you'll discover the complexities of bee behavior--as well as the bits that still baffle us--the part they play in the natural world, their relationship with us throughout history, how they are coming under threat and what we can all do about it. Beautifully produced, with hand-made illustrations throughout, it is a story for our times and a book to treasure.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A wonderful little book that celebrates bees, offering a positive and accessible read." --The English Garden<br><br>"Beautifully illustrated, [an] enjoyable read." --Make, Walk, Read Blog<br><br>"Beautifully written . . . a pleasure not only to read, but to give to a friend or loved one." --uzz About Bees Blog<br><br>"Charming." --Halfman, Halfbook Blog<br><br>"Enthralling and enlightening." --The Unconventional Gardener Blog<br><br>"One of the best wildlife books I've read for a while--packed with information, beautiful to look at and the perfect gift for any nature lover." --Quest for Nectar Blog<br><br>"Packed full of interesting facts about both wild and domesticated bees . . . an enjoyable and entertaining read." --Friends of Darwin Blog<br><br>"The most wonderful book on the subject of bees." --The Last Word Book Review Blog<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alison Benjamin </b>and <b>Brian McCallum </b>run Urban Bees, which works with communities, charities, businesses, and the public to raise awareness about all bees, support bee populations through education, and establish apiaries.
