Alternatives Journal, August, 2009 by Heather Andrachuk

Bees: Nature's Little Wonders, Candace Savage.

Recent reports of catastrophic honeybee losses have put these tiny creatures in the limelight and highlighted our dependence on them for fruit and vegetable production. In Bees: Nature's Little Wonders, Savage provides readers with a glimpse into honeybee sociality, biology and diversity-Reading like a coffee-table book, Bees is complete with poems, paintings and drawings that illustrate the historical and cultural depiction of bees in art. This short and engaging volume concludes with a discussion on what humankind can learn about social co-operation from complex honeybee societies.
