These days we’re all concerned about the failing populations of the honey bee, so when this book popped through the letterbox I was keen to read it. The Bee garden – Maureen Little, demonstrates how each of us can play a part in providing an enviromment in which bees can flourish. Little’s narrative is interesting to read. It details the bee colony and the life of the honey bee, and what it needs to survive. If you are going to plant a garden, why not optimise the plants you choose to attract and nurture bees. This is a beautifully illustrated book that makes extremely good reading. I highly recommend it. www.howtobooks.co.uk.
