Bees are among our most important farm animals. As super pollinators, they ensure that flowering plants bear fruit in nature and agriculture. Without them, we would not only lack most foods, but also many other everyday natural products such as cotton or wax. However, there are fewer and fewer bees worldwide: Toxic pesticides and the disappearance of diverse habitats are causing them serious problems.

With this book, you can find out about bees and do something for them at the same time. Here you will find out what types of bees there are, how and what they live on, which plants they like, how they perceive and communicate, fly, collect pollen, make honey, reproduce and much more. In exciting experiments, you will learn how to better understand bees and how to support them in your garden at home. And you can make a beautiful house for mason bees from the cover and inside pages of the book.
