Bees : A Guide for the Curious

As the world becomes more uncertain and life more stressful, getting outside and connecting with nature is an easy and affordable way to boost our mental and physical health.

In Bees, trained biologist and wellness writer Susan E. Clark introduces the curious reader to the wonderful world of bees. In the first part of the book, you will learn fascinating bee facts, and how these tiny insects have inspired humans throughout the ages, from rock art in 8000 BCE, to literature, medicine and more. The second part features 30 species of bees, each with a detailed illustration to help identify them, as well as when they are active and where to spot them. There are countless opportunities to experience nature on our doorstep, and Bees will encourage you to do just that. 

Susan Clark trained as a biologist and is now a Wellness writer and the editor of Resurgence & Ecologist magazine. The magazine has been the flagship of the environmental movement for 60 years and is all about Nature, community, connection and loving the planet — along with everything we share it with — enough to take better care of it and them.
