More Than Honey: The Survival of Bees and the Future of Our World: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "More Than Honey: The Survival of Bees and the Future of Our World" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

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 populationa 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 beesranging from the ubiquitous Varroa destructor to overuse of pesticides and an ever-shrinking natural landscapewith 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.
