UPDATED REPRINT 2016 Did you know that to collect a kilo of honey, bees need to visit one million plants? In going about their daily lives, bees provide plants with pollination necessary for reproduction and biodiversity, and they provide food for many species from ants to insects to birds. They are also an integral part of the self-sufficiency approach to sustainable production. The authors look after over 100 honey and native bee hives. They have run bee workshops in schools and colleges, mead-making workshops for grown ups and started successful bee clubs. This book contains the answers to the questions they are most often asked, such as 'what is pollen?', 'how do bees make honey?' 'what if a bee stings?', 'how do you make mead?' and 'what pests and diseases affect bees?'. The 129-page book is strikingly illustrated and designed by the masterful Glenbo Craig.
