All the Buzz on Bees and Beekeeping#1 Bestseller in Entomology What happens when a writer sets up a backyard beehive? You get a book full of fun and fascinating facts on bumblebees, honeybees, worker bees, and the rest of our favorite pollinators. A bee swarm of trivia, tips, legend, and lore. Writer and beekeeper Jack Mingo lives with half a million bees. So, it's safe to say he's picked up a thing or two at his bee farm.

A book full of bee facts, anecdotes, and advice. How many legs do bees have? Enough not to crowd your bed at night. They don't track mud or fleas into the house, and if you leave them in the yard they won't bark and whine. They greet you with honey and beeswax, not dead mice.

Whether you're flirting with beekeeping, looking to save the bees, or growing into your role as reigning queen bee, there's something new to learn.
