N2  - "One part science, one part cultural history, and countless parts fascination, Bees celebrates the important role that these intriguing insects have played in our ecosystem throughout the ages. From Athena to Alexander the Great and from Egypt to Ethiopia, Bees explores different methods of beekeeping and uncovers the debt that humans owe this vital species. With beautifully accessible illustrations depicting everything from bee anatomy to the essentials of honey making, readers will be captivated by the endless wonders of this seemingly small speck of the animal kingdom."--; The truly huge size (nearly 15 by 11 inches) and eye-catching yellow and black cover make this book stand out on the shelf. What’s inside is fascinating, too: the story of bees from prehistoric times to the present, including illustrations of diverse beehives from around the world. (Miller Library Staff)
