SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE A naturalist's passionate
dive into the lives of bees (of all stripes)-and the natural world
in her own backyard Brigit Strawbridge Howard was shocked the day
she realised she knew more about the French Revolution than she did
about her native trees. And birds. And wildflowers. And bees. The
thought stopped her-quite literally-in her tracks. But that day was
also the start of a journey, one filled with silver birches and
hairy-footed flower bees, skylarks, and rosebay willow herb, and
the joy that comes with deepening one's relationship with place.
Dancing with Bees is Strawbridge Howard's charming and eloquent
account of a return to noticing, to rediscovering a perspective on
the world that had somehow been lost to her for decades and to
reconnecting with the natural world. With special care and
attention to the plight of pollinators, including honeybees,
bumblebees, and solitary bees, and what we can do to help them,
Strawbridge Howard shares fascinating details of the lives of flora
and fauna that have filled her days with ever-increasing wonder and
delight.
