More Than Honey · the Survival of Bees and the Future of Our World

*A wonderfully thorough immersion in the world of bees and beekeeping.* More Than Honey *leaves one with reverence for this six-legged miracle, and profound concern about the future it faces.* " -- Rowan Jacobsen, author of *Fruitless Fall* **A fascinating look at the increasingly perilous world of the honeybee--based on an award-winning documentary** The saying goes that without bees, humankind would only survive for four more years; these crucial pollinators are, indeed, worth more than honey. In *More Than Honey* , Marcus Imhoof and Claus-Peter Lieckfeld examine the history and current status of our relationship to and reliance on bees while exposing the human behaviors contributing to the decline of the bee population--a decline that could ultimately contribute directly to a world food problem. Illustrated with jaw-droppingly detailed photos of bees, *More Than Honey* is a fascinating, accessible overview of a species that is inextricably tied to our survival.
