COMPILED BY KATHY BUCHANAN, VICTORIA POLZOT AND MELANIE EGANBuzz: he Nature and Necessity of Bees
Thor Hnson (ALLEN & UNWIN)T
he buzz on bees is they are
more important today than
ever. Ubiquitous, essential
and, for the most part, unseen,
they are the beating heart that
binds the human and natural
worlds. Meticulously researched
and an entertaining read, whowould have guessed a book
dedicated to bees could be so
engrossing? Hanson is clearly
a conversational biologist with
a passion. A thoughtful gift for
anyone fascinated with natural
history and how bees impact
our daily lives. Bee-witching!
