A new book on bumble bees, just published, is 'Bumble bees for pleasure
and profit'.
 
Chapters covered are:
Why bumble bees are special
Bumble bees at home and at school
Bumble bees as pollinators of crops and wild flowers
Bumble bees as pollinators of glasshouse crops
Commercial rearing of bumble bees
 
This is very much intended for the non-scientific reader; containing lots
of practical information in a readable form while still being authoritative.
It
was published because of the growing interest among beekeepers,
gardeners and naturalists in these insects.
 
BBPP is priced at (I think) 7.99 British pounds, with a small surcharge for
international mailing.
