Bee Books

Hello friends,
I have been asked to recommend some Bee Books, books that will help us to understand the problems we are facing and how we can contribute in this fight to save our planet. Also to be included, we need a couple of books to introduce us to our friends, the Bees …

Here are a few titles – in particular order – to start the ball rolling. I would be delighted if you send me by email to olivefarmbooks@gmail.com any titles you have read and would like to recommend.

Thank you

Carol
