One of the United Kingdom’s most respected conservationists and the founder of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Goulson combines lighthearted tales of a child’s growing passion for nature with a deep insight into the crucial importance of the bumblebee. He details the minutiae of life in the nest, sharing fascinating research into the effects intensive farming has had on our bee population and the potential dangers if we are to continue down this path.
A charming insight into the world of the bee
A charming insight into the world of bees. This book is easy to follow, and filled with plenty of personal stories and interesting information. I enjoyed learning all about the ins and outs of the beehive, and how the demise of the bumblebee is really quite a worrying thought. Some myths were busted too - and the index in the back is also really handy if you need to revisit ideas at the end.
Anybody with even the slightest interest in bees or wildlife should pick up this book - it's a wonderful piece of work.
Available at Waterstones
