More than honey : the survival of bees and the future of our world

Imhoof, Markus 1941- (author.). Lieckfeld, Claus-Peter, 1948- (author.). Koch, Hans-Jürgen (Photographer), (photographer.). Reschke-Koch, Heidi, (photographer.).

Summary: The saying goes that without bees, humankind would only survive for four more years; these crucial pollinators are, indeed, worth more than honey. Markus Imhood and Claus-Peter Lieckfeld examine the history and current status of our relationship to and reliance on bees while exposing human behaviours contributing to the decline of the bee population - a decline that could ultimately contribute directly to a world food problem.
