## Description

Bees are enigmatic creatures 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. There are over 20,000 species 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 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 . 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 they are already under serious threat , and, crucially, what we can all do about it . Beautifully produced, with hand-made illustrations throughout, this is an essential handbook and a book to treasure .
