I thought it was an informative book on bumblebee s. It is the author s life with bees and many other things. Although it is written as a life’s story he tells you lots of information about bees habitat breeding how the farms used to be lots of small plots all with hedgerows making the boundary’s. With lots of different flowers for foraging bees. After world war 2 farms were opened up and fields are vast good for crops but not good for bees. They have no food or shelter. If a bee does not find nectar in 40 minutes it just runs out of power and dies. Very sad to hear but it all makes Seneca to me Now I am beginning to understand what we have done to our eco system.
