The acclaimed director shares a gorgeously photographed and "wonderfully thorough immersion in the world of bees and beekeeping" (Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall).
The saying goes that without bees, humankind would only survive for four more years; these crucial pollinators are, indeed, worth more than honey. In his award-winning documentary More Than Honey, Markus Imhoof introduced audiences to the fascinating world of bees and the perils of Colony Collapse Disorder. Now Imhoof joins with nature writer Claus-Peter Lieckfeld to go deeper into the complex relationship between bees and humans.
This book examines the history and current status of our relationship to and reliance on bees while exposing the human behaviors contributing to the decline of the bee populationā??a decline that could ultimately contribute directly to a world food problem. Illustrated with jaw-droppingly detailed photos of bees, More Than Honey is a fascinating, accessible overview of a species that is inextricably tied to our survival.
