This was super-interesting! I am fascinated by honey bees anyway, and learning about the history and some of the challenges honey bees are facing in today's agricultural climate was really awesome! I can't wait to have bees...

Beautifully written. I love how the author loves bees and honey. This book makes me want to run out and buy a jar of local honey to see if it really tastes like home. I read this while researching bees for the novel I am writing, and it was a huge help.

My wife picked this up from a library display and it ended up being a read aloud since my son saw it and became obsessed over the bee on the cover. Factual though overly repetitive and flowery. It definitely should be approached as a 'coffee table' book rather than a natural history book.

Good little overview of the history of bees and people. Lot's of information on bee biology and bee products. And some references at the back that look like great in-depth reading to try out if you want to read something with more meat in it. There's a ton of kick-ass full colour photography throughout the book too.
