I never thought a book about bees could be so fascinating. Amazing pictures and informative text. Highly recommended. Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

We all know bees are useful, right? But did you also know how completely fascinating they are? Bet you didn't! Get your hands on a copy of this book and you'll bee (sorry!) amazed at these little critters so many of us take for granted. The photos are stunning, giving us a close-up look that's otherwise out of reach for most of us. The information included with each photo is perfectly balanced and you'll have plenty of eyes-wide moments while reading. My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley. This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own, unbiased, opinion.

Bees is a beautifully illustrated and knowledgeable book, allowing a reader to dive into the diverse world of bees. The book is easy to follow and each category flows well. The images are large enough to fully appreciate the bees, but also small enough to be able to skim past them when looking for a particular area of text or species of bee. The book over all taught me a great deal about bees, and allowed me to appreciate those species not native to my home country that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to discover. My only issues with this book was not all the photographs state the species of bee within it. As someone who is interested in insect identification, it would have been nice to have that bit of information added to the book. Additionally, I read this book digitally, this book did not flow well upon the devices I tried it on. Many of the pages are double-page spreads and it was incredibly difficult at times of imagine the photographs in there full form when they are divided into two sections on top of each other. Over all I loved this book and found it highly informative, I would recommend it to anyone interested in insects, beekeeping or the natural world.
