Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. They’ve given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. In Buzz, Thor Hanson shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Read this book and you’ll never overlook them again.
