Buzzing: The Natural History of Bees

No circulation

Bees are like oxygen — they are ubiquitous, incredibly important to us, and mostly invisible. Although we often overlook them, these insects play a crucial role in the relationship between humans and the natural world. In the book «Buzzing», Thor... Hanson invites us on a journey that began 125 million years ago when the first wasp dared to feed its offspring with flower pollen. These insects — from honeybees and bumblebees to the lesser-known ground, alkali, mining, leafcutter bees, and mason bees — have long been inseparable from the productivity of our gardens and fields, from our mythology, and from our very existence. Bees give us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and nearly a third of our diet. And sadly, they are currently under threat of extinction. Thor Hanson's informative and captivating book shows why all species of bees are a true wonder of nature that we must cherish and protect. Read this book, and bees will never again be invisible to you.
