Goodreads asked Stephen Buchmann:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Stephen Buchmann I wanted to summarize my observations on bee behavior both in the field (wild nature) or in the laboratory (like an indoor bee foraging arena). I especially wanted to introduce my readers to the alien world of bee senses. Bees can see hidden ultraviolet patters on flower petals or the variations in polarized light across the sky. I share the latest findings that bees are sentient (can feel pain), can problem solve and use tools. We need to take a kinder approach to bees and other insects especially with regard to using insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. Let's give bees a chance!
