Keeping the bees : why all bees are at risk and what we can do to save them
Packer, Laurence Dennis Marchant, 1955-2015
Book
From the jungles of South America to the deserts of Arizona, one thing remains consistent - bees are disappearing. A world without bees would be much less colourful, with fewer flowers. But that's not all - bees are responsible for up to one-third of our food supply, and the consequences of not taking action to protect them are frightening. In this work, Laurence Packer, a melittologist whose life revolves around bees, debunks many myths about these creatures and takes us behind the scenes with scientists around the world who are working to save these fascinating creatures before it's too late.
