This book is filled with facts, photographs, and figures about honeybees. What beekeepers do during the four seasons is detailed, as well as chapters about pollination, honey production, biology, current research, and others. The book follows from Rick's hundreds of presentations about honeybees given to classes from pre-school to college. You will see pictures of the honeybee's specialised bodies, and figures illustrating their behaviours that are especially adapted to collecting pollen and nectar. You will learn of their importance to agriculture. You may also be humbled, thinking, "How does an insect the size of a finger tip do so much". You might even reconsider taking expensive trips and begin instead looking in your own garden.
