Description
Claire Preston's Bee tells the story of our complex relationship with this industrious insect. From ancient descriptions to modern debates about its decline, this book explores how bees have woven themselves into our culture. The bee has been a familiar visitor to gardens and parks for centuries, yet its importance extends far beyond its role in pollination. This sweeping natural history is also a cultural exploration of the ways in which bees have influenced art, literature, and everyday life. With lively anecdotes, fascinating facts, and highly illustrated images, Bee offers a unique perspective on these tiny workaholics and their place in our world.
