What the Bees See: A Honeybee's Eye View of the World Hardcover – March 5, 2024

As a beekeeper and a naturalist, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Craig pairs his dazzling photos with informative facts to encourage us to see the world in a new way. An Inspiring and informative book that I will refer to time and time again.

Worth reading book about bees. The photos are extremely good.

The pictures and the text are both excellent. Bees and flowers are fascinating. The pictures are eerily beautiful.

Very well presented. Bees are fascinating.

Beautiful

I haven't had a chance to read this book yet, but the photos are the main draw, and they are amazing. But they didn't seem to leave much room for the type, which is tiny. It is awfully small for a quality book.

If you like bees, this is great!

In this gorgeous 195-page book, botanical photographer Craig P. Burrows offers 70 stunning ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) photographs of flowers to simulate what bees and other pollinators might see. The book also includes close-up photographs of bees, as well as charts and other informative illustrations. Between the images, you’ll find short essays and interviews about bees and the products they produce.I found the text interesting, but it’s the photographs that really set this book apart. My only frustration is that many of the photographs lacked captions. You’ll have to refer to the Index of Plant Species in the back to find out what some of the photo subjects are. Other back matter includes a List of Contributors, References, and Acknowledgements.This book would make a wonderful gift for a nature lover or be an interesting addition to your coffee table. The photographs inspire wonder.Thanks to Chronicle Books for providing me with an electronic ARC through NetGalley. I volunteered to provide an honest review.
