Beautiful pictures and basic information about the many species of bees in the world— fascinating creatures!

Seeing this on the shelf at the library gripped me hard as the photos are stunningly beautiful. The information inside covered the basics to the seemingly advanced--at least to this non-fiction reader that doesn't touch much science material. In other words, I became fascinated early on but didn't gain that much from all of the details about the species the authors chose to highlight. Perhaps I should have just read the stuff that really interested me and skipped the rest.

Bees Book

It has all kinds of fascinating info about bees. I would recommend it to anyone who has the slightest interest in bees.

[Randy]

Beautiful photos, good approach and outline. Some of the content is really engaging and new. But there were typos and awkward phrasing throughout, to the extent it was distracting.
