A World Without Bees

About this book

"The strange case of the vanishing western honeybee has led to fears that we are dangerously out of kilter with nature. This important and compelling book by journalist and fledgling beekeeper, Allison Benjamin, will dramatically examine the environmental, political and economic forces shaping the honeybee's fragile existence - and why the world can't survive without it. Well-researched and artfully written, A World without Bees is part eulogy to the honeybee, part mystery story explaining why the global bee population is diminishing and part call to arms to ensure their survival"--Publisher's description.
