Bees make honey; we all know that. But what happens between the bee buzzing around our garden, and the sticky knife in the jar, is a mystery to most of us. Based on careful observation and years of experience, Michael Weiler reveals the secret life of bees, looking at all aspects of their life and work and vividly describing their remarkable world.

Did you know that it takes approximately 12,000 bee-hours to make one jar of honey? (At £7.50 per hour, that would mean one jar should cost around £90,000.)

This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in the intricacies of nature and our world.
