From the jungles of South America to the deserts of Arizona, one
thing remains consistent: bees are disappearing. A world without
bees would be much less colourful, with fewer flowers. But that's
not all-bees are responsible for up to one-third of our food
supply, and the consequences of not taking action to protect them
are frightening. While the media focuses on colony-collapse
disorder and the threats to honey bees specifically, the real
danger is much greater: all bees are at risk, whether it be from
loss of habitat, pesticide use or disease, among other factors. And
because of the integral role these insects play in the ecology of
our planet, we may be at risk as well.
In Keeping the Bees, Laurence Packer, a melittologist whose life
revolves around bees, debunks many myths about these creatures and
takes us behind the scenes with scientists around the world who are
working to save these fascinating creatures before it's too
late.
