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. Enquiries to [log in to unmask]
