The Secret Lives of Garden Bees

Jean Vernon,

About this book

A friendly, accessible guide into the weird, but wonderful world of bees in the gardens of the UK.
From the common or garden bumblebees that nest in bird boxes, compost heaps, and old mouse holes making "Winnie the Pooh" style honey pots to feed their babes; to the quirky wool carder bee, a solitary bee that combs the fluff from garden plants to line her brood cells; and the amazing leaf cutter bee that carves chunks out of plant foliage to seal its egg chambers . . .
This book will reveal the secrets and fascinating lives of the bees that live and breed in your garden, from buzz pollination, to the bee robbers that cheat the plants and steal nectar by stealth.
With a chapter per season to explore what you are likely to see in your garden, great plants to grow to help them, plus other fascinating information on these secretive creatures, this book is designed to bring alive the world of garden before your very eyes.
"The colorful narrative radiates the authors love for bees and is punctuated with heaps of beautiful photographs. Easily read from cover to cover or dipped in to when in need of bee identification." — Sunday Express (UK)
