This book really is the buzz about bees, and it’s destined to become a natural history classic.” —Stephen Buchmann, author of The Reason for Flowers

“Thor Hanson is a magician at making entomology and taxonomy exciting, highlighting the fascinating world of bees . . . A delightful, buzzworthy must-read!” —Daniel Chamovitz, author of What a Plant Knows

"Surely among the finest nature writers of our time―whatever subject Hanson turns his hand to, the result is spellbinding." Katrina Van Grouw, author of The Unfeathered Bird and Unnatural Selection
