Bees, fascinating, essential and threatened (Book)

Bees. Until recently, they were mainly mentioned in the same breath as flowers when it came to reproduction. Today, bees are increasingly synonymous with mortality.

Honey bees have been loved since time immemorial for the honey they produce. In the past, they were also useful for the wax with which the bee makes its comb and with which humans produced candles or made boats or kitchen utensils waterproof. However, the most important function of bees is the pollination of flowers. If the bees disappear, then many flowers will no longer be pollinated. Not only in nature, but also in our fields and orchards.
