BUZZ: The Nature and Necessity of Bees — By Thor Hanson

"Buzz is illuminating, inspiring, and irresistable. In short: the bee's knees."— The Mail on Sunday“This book is a joy. In it, Thor Hanson reminds us that the story of bees is the story of the origin of societies, of sweetness and collapse, of flowers and their sex, and if the humans who study all of these things. It is a story of evolution and biodiversity, a story that bears on much of the food we eat but also so very much else. Buy it. Read it. Read it again. And when you do, you will look out at the buzzing world anew.”— Rob Dunn, author of Never Home Alone and The Wild Life of Our Bodies"Never highbrow or authoritative, Thor Hanson writes with the infectious enthusiasm of one encountering wonders for the first time; less a teacher than a fellow traveller on a shared voyage of discovery. Surely among the finest nature writers of our time―whatever subject Hanson turns his hand to, the result is spellbinding." — Katrina Van Grouw, author of The Unfeathered Bird and Unnatural Select
