The History of Bees – Maja Lunde

In this book Maja Lunde explores the role that bees have played in the past, the present and what role they perhaps will have in the future. The backdrop of this book is the urgent global crisis of climate change and the extinction of species. This is a book that makes you want to act. Perhaps replace your lawn with a flower meadow or set up a “bee hotel”. A really good and important book both for adults and young people.

“Haunting, illuminating, and deftly written, The History of Bees joins “the past, the present, and a terrifying future in a riveting story as complex as a honeycomb” (New York Times bestselling author Bryn Greenwood) that is just as much about the powerful bond between children and parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity.”
