A Sting in the Tale: My Adventures with Bumblebees by Dave GoulsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
When I used to think about bees I only thought that there were honey bees. Now that I have read a some books about bees I know different. This was an exciting book to read. He starts off the book talking about four species of bumble bees taken from the UK to New Zealand. And he ends the book talking about reintroducing one of those species of bumblebee the short-haired bumblebee back to the UK.
I enjoyed reading about bumblebee mating, the problems that commercially grown bumblebee's may cause for wild bumblebees. I was fun to read about the impact how non-native bee species may have on on native bees.
I also enjoyed the pages about the authors land in France. I thought farms in France would be more expensive than England but, I was wrong.
I think I have covered everything I want to in this review. If you like reading about bees I believe you will enjoy reading this book.
