Colony Collapse Disorder, ubiquitous pesticide use, industrial
agriculture, habitat reduction-these are just a few of the issues
causing unprecedented trauma in honeybee populations worldwide. In
this artfully illustrated book, Heather Swan embarks on a narrative
voyage to discover solutions to-and understand the sources of-the
plight of honeybees. Through a lyrical combination of creative
nonfiction and visual imagery, Where Honeybees Thrive tells the
stories of the beekeepers, farmers, artists, entomologists,
ecologists, and other advocates working to stem the damage and
reverse course for this critical pollinator. Using her own quest
for understanding as a starting point, Swan highlights the
innovative projects and strategies these groups employ. Her mosaic
approach to engaging with the environment not only reveals the
incredibly complex political ecology in which bees live-which
includes human and nonhuman actors alike-but also suggests ways of
comprehending and tackling a host of other conflicts between
postindustrial society and the natural world. Each chapter closes
with an illustrative full-color gallery of bee-related artwork. A
luminous journey from the worlds of honey producers, urban farmers,
and mead makers of the United States to those of beekeepers of
Sichuan, China, and researchers in southern Africa, Where Honeybees
Thrive traces the global web of efforts to secure a sustainable
future for honeybees-and ourselves.
