"Protect the Pollinators That Help Feed the World". 'Sounded a bit trite, but then again, I didn't know how vast this topic was. Botany, entomological life cycles, bees, land management, food production, gardening. All are treated in a concise manner, allowing the reader to well, "google" so to speak, for additional information. Prepared by the Xerces Society, so you know it's going to be a professional work. Butterflies rule, bees too, even the flower flies rock. (
