Description
Dorothy Hodges's delicate drawings of pollen grains, reproduced in this booklet, offer a unique insight into the world of beekeeping. First published in 1952, The Pollen Loads of the Honeybee was a groundbreaking guide for beekeepers, and its importance has only grown with time. The original book's colour charts, while still valuable, are not easily reproducible. In contrast, the drawings of pollen grains are of outstanding artistic merit and can be used to identify the most frequently collected pollen forms by bees. This publication makes Mrs Hodges's work available to new generations of beekeepers, providing a useful introduction to pollen analysis of honey. With 36 pages of detailed illustrations, this booklet is a must-have for anyone interested in beekeeping and the natural world.
