Bees first appeared on Earth an incredible 130 million years ago. Today, there are 20,000 species on the planet. They fascinate and charm us all - from novice gardeners and nature-lovers to dedicated environmentalists - and today, they need our help more than ever. This lovely, informative book of all things bee covers evolution and communication, honey, beekeeping, and saving the bees so that future generations can continue to enjoy them and benefit from them.
