A beautiful exploration of bees from the perspective of the bees. I loved learning so many of the inner workings of the hive/ bees as well as natural beekeeping practices that the author explains so beautifully alongside the communications and teachings directly from bees. As I work with plants and flowers, this book filled in so many missing pieces which ended up confirming so much of my work with flowers in the world, adding a rich extra texture of layers to the everyday workings of the natural world.
This book is for everyone!
