Buzzing. The natural history of bees

Bees are like oxygen - they are ubiquitous, incredibly important to us and for the most part invisible. Although we often do not notice them, these insects make up an important part of human relations with the world of nature. In the book “Burriers”, Tor Hanson invites us on a journey, which began 125 million years ago, when the first washing dared to feed her offspring with flower pollen. These insects - from honey bees and bumblebees to the less known earthen, salt marshes, grumbling, leaf -cutting bees and stone bees - have long been inseparable from the yield of our gardens and fields, from our mythology, and from our existence itself. Bees give us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers and almost a third of our diet. And no matter how sad, now they are under threat of disappearance. The substantial and bewitching book of Thor Hanson shows why all types of bees are a real miracle of nature, which we must value and protect. Read this book, and the bees will never again be invisible to you
