Bee Bible

Is really true that, if bees go extinct, civilisation could only last four years? Sally Coulthard takes the reader on a fascinating flight through the history, science, folklore, behaviour, and cultural significance of the bee. From the earliest evidence of keeping honeybees to why a bee sting hurts, or how bees talk to each other, make honey and build their hives, this heart-warming guide waxes lyrical on the insect voted Britain’s best loved bug.
