Advance Praise Blurbs: WABK
I'd like to share, ahead of publication, some advance praise blurbs (back cover) that others have written about my new book: "What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees" from Island Press (Washington, DC).
"Stephen Buchmann is renowned as one of the most eloquent writers on bees and flowers. In What a Bee Knows he brings his breadth of understanding to the abilities and sensory capabilities of these essential insects. Buchmann teaches us about the world according to bees -- and about ourselves."
Laurence Packer, melittologist and author of Bees of the World and Keeping the Bees
"It is a treat to see Steve Buchmann bring his knowledge and love of bees to the intricacies of how they experience the world. Buchmann is a wonderful guide through the well-studied and newest research that is changing our understanding of these fascinating creatures."
Gretchen LeBuhn, Professor, San Francisco State University and Director of The Great Sunflower Project
"Steve Buchmann invites us to see, taste, and smell the world as bees do. Along the way, we discover their formidable mental capacities, learning that bees feel pain, solve puzzles, and use tools. Are bees sentient, do they think, and perhaps even dream? Come find out!"
Mark W. Moffett, author of The Human Swarm and Adventures Among Ants
"No single scientist has ever done so much to broaden our understanding of bees' remarkable capacities. No single conservationist has ever done more to conserve bees and other pollinators. Steve Buchmann is not only insightful and eloquent, but he is a national treasure."
Gary Paul Nabhan, contemplative ecologist, author of Where Our Food Comes From and Food from the Radical Center, and coauthor of Agave Spirits
