Author 54: Loree Griffin Burns talks bees


This is the best book we have ever seen on bees!

Full color pictures-captivating text! Resources galore and lots of useful information!
Detailed pictures of bees including workers, a queen, a drone and even larva in their honeycomb cells. Honey extraction---slurpy, syrupy, sappy, sticky, yummy!

Do you like eating? This book is very insightful in helping the layman understand the role of bees and risks of losing said bees. It will definitely make you think twice before wanting to swat that bee buzzing around flowers in your yard.


Again, if you like eating, you should read The Hive Detectives: Chronicle of a Honey Bee Catastrophe by Loree Griffin Burns.

Warning: The new generation of pesticides (neonicotinoids) seem to bode ill for bees. Another good reason to try to buy organic. (Our latest yummy organic find is the organic French vanilla yogurt made by Stonyfield Farm with multiple healthy bacteria. We have no affiliation nor have received any products, coupons or incentives from Stonyfield in any relation to this blog post. )
