I love the tone of this book! I wasn’t surprised to find out it’s written by an English author as I connect better with the UK’s sense of humor and style... there is a LOT of great information presented in a very digestible manor.

This beautiful book looks at the interconnectedness of all living things in a typical English field. We learn about each species individually and how they all rely on each other for survival, taking away one species creates a disastrous domino effect. Gorgeous photographs are the icing on the cake in this must read for anyone interested in the preservation of life on our planet.

I am a huge fan of allotments and community gardens and the book shows how easy it is to garden – even if you have a black thumb as I do. There are some great concrete ideas in here on how to get food that you grew into your tummy - of course, you cannot grow everything in every garden depending upon where you live, but if you buy the ingredients at the local greengrocer, you can still enjoy them as the recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to myself and other lovers of food out there. Even if you don’t grow your food, these recipes will be of great use to you.

The details about the various bees of Britain are somewhat astounding, and can easily be translated to the bees you'll find in mainland Europe, the United States or anywhere bees collect pollen and nectar. And gardeners will obtain vital clues about the types of flowers and herbs to plant in their gardens, as well as watering spots you can provide, seasonal plantings and other bee-friendly amenities. There are details, too, on the various threats bees face in the wild and, although Vernon encourages people to lend a hand where possible, she acknowledges the cycle of life that doesn't always favor the bees. The photography, too, is amazing. You'll get up close, personal glimpses of bees as they fly, feed and otherwise live their simple bee lives. So, whether you are a budding apiculturists or you simply have a passing interest in the bees buzzing through your garden, The Secret Lives of Garden Bees should be an entertaining and extremely informative read. Good job, Jean Vernon! Read the.. Read more
