DescriptionMore Than Honey: The Survival of Bees and the Future of Our World – October 13, 2015 by Markus Imhoof (Author), Claus-Peter Lieckfeld (Author) {BinanGotit}  Product Details Paperback: 152 pages Publisher: Greystone Books (October 13, 2015) Language: English ISBN-10: 1771640995 ISBN-13: 978-1771640992 “A bee colony is like a magic well; the more you draw from it the richer it flows.” Karl von Frisch “If 70 percent of all cattle or 30 percent of all chickens were to die annually, states of emergency would be declared everywhere. The death of bees is at least that dramatic and with even more far-reaching consequences.” More Than Honey, the book based on the award-winning documentary of the same name, takes us on a global tour of the world of bees, introducing us along the way to “killer bees,” Frankenbees, beekeepers, and human pollinators. Markus Imhoof and Claus-Peter Lieckfeld examine both the history and current status of our relationship to and reliance on bees, and expose the human behaviors that are contributing to the decline of the bee population—a decline that could ultimately contribute directly to a world food problem. The authors intersperse information about the intricate social structure of the bee world and the problems faced by bees—ranging from the ubiquitous Varroa destructor to overuse of pesticides and an ever-shrinking natural landscape—with conversations and interviews with beekeepers and bee experts from across the world, balancing the views of those who see bees as simply a valuable source of income with the views of those who see bees as undervalued, misunderstood creatures that need our help to survive. The end result is a fascinating, accessible overview of a species that is crucial to our survival.
