Synopsis
Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. To know the bee isn't just to understand a fascinating and beautiful insect-it is to glimpse a profound web of relationships, great and small, that unite the human and the natural worlds. In Buzz, award-winning author and biologist Thor Hanson unspools a yarn stretching back 125 million years and encompassing well-known honeybees and bumbles as well as lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons. He shows readers how central bees are to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence-how they've given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And, alarmingly, he shows us why they are at risk of disappearing. In short, Buzz shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Once you read this book, you'll never overlook them again. Book jacket., As seen on PBS's American Spring LIVE, the award-winning author of The Triumph of Seeds and Feathers presents a natural and cultural history of bees: the buzzing wee beasties that make the world go round. Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. While we might overlook them, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz , the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons, bees have long been central to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence. They've given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And, alarmingly, they are at risk of disappearing. As informative and enchanting as the waggle dance of a honeybee, Buzz shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Read this book and you'll never overlook them again.
