An incomparable illustrated look at the critical role bees play in the life of our planet

Bees pollinate more than 130 fruit, vegetable, and seed crops that we rely on to survive. Bees are also crucial to the reproduction and diversity of flowering plants, and the economic contributions of these irreplaceable insects measure in the tens of billions of dollars each year. Yet bees are dying at an alarming rate, threatening food supplies and ecosystems around the world. In this richly illustrated natural history of the bee, which includes more than 250 color photographs and illustrations, Noah Wilson-Rich and his team of bee experts provide a window into the vitally important role that bees play in the life of our planet.

Earth is home to more than 20,000 bee species, from fluorescent-colored orchid bees and sweat bees to flower-nesting squash bees and leaf-cutter bees. This book provides an unmatched account of this astounding diversity, blending an engaging narrative with practical, hands-on discussions of such topics as beekeeping and bee health. It explores our relationship with the bee over evolutionary time, examining how it originated and where it stands today--and what the future holds for humanity and bees alike.

These actually work! I love them!
These socks actually work! I have struggled for so long to deal with dryness. I’m a big runner and workout every day and my feet get so dry and cracked and never have a chance to heal. After shower, I put neosporin on the areas that were really bad, and then put these socks on and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning it was like my feet were magically fixed! The only thing I will warn of, which isn’t a negative, is the size. I am a womens 9 1/2 shoe size. If my feet were any bigger then these socks would not fit comfortably. My heels would be coming out of them. Otherwise, they are soft, comfy, and definitely do the job!
