Description

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

The western honeybee plays a vital role within the planet's eco-system, pollinating 70% of the food that we eat. Yet the future of the honeybee is under threat, and the rate at which their numbers continue to diminish, has led to fears that we are dangerously out of sync with nature.

A World Without Bees charts the fascinating history of the western honeybee and investigates the reasons for their rapid decline in numbers. This inspiring account will cause its readers to face the potential consequences of the honeybees' fragile existence, and cause them to look into the personal actions that can be taken to ensure their future survival.

To celebrate the publication of this timely and enthralling new book about the social, environmental and economic consequences of the world's rapidly diminishing bee population, we are hosting a series of public events. After our sell-out session at the Hay-on-Wye literary festival, we hope to follow this success at the following events.
