This is a sweet little book that would suit anyone with an interest in bees. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout. I particularly liked the first chapter which explains about bees, describing their life cycle, their search for pollen and nectar and the fascinating bee dance.
The book includes chapters on what plants to grow to attract bees and chapters on hives and bee-keeping equipment. The final part of the book focuses on the importance of bees and honey throughout history including superstitions and poems.
I would say this isn’t a book for in depth information but it is more a book of little titbits.
Available now from Amazon or your local bookshop.

I think we are all becoming more aware of how important bees are to have in the garden – I may do a little ‘bee-dance’ myself and see if it works.
Absolutely! Bees are a must and I do all I can to keep them happy in my garden. Looks like a great book!

That looks a delightful book. I grow lots of flowers that bees like, which is appreciated by a plot neighbour who keeps hives on his plot. xx
A really interesting book is “A world without bees”. That’s quite an in depth look at all the issues surrounding bees, and puts into context the current problems.
I really love the look of this book. It may well go on my wishlist!
I’m really pleased you like it It is one of my favourite books that we have published this year. It’ll be winging it’s way to many people this Christmas.
