Una historia con aguijón

Dave Goulson became obsessed with wildlife growing up in rural Shropshire and started a collection of increasingly exotic pets. But Goulson's true passion is bees. The British short-haired bumblebee, once common in the Kentish marshes, has become extinct in the UK but, by a twist of fate, continues to exist in the wilds of New Zealand, descended from a few pairs shipped in the XIX century. Dave Goulson's enthusiastic quest to reintroduce it to its homeland is one of the highlights of a book that includes original research on the habits of these mysterious creatures, the history of bumblebees, and advice on how to protect them for generations. future. Goulson, one of the UK's most respected conservationists and founder of the Bumblebee Conservation Fund, combines light-hearted tales of a boy's growing passion for nature with insight into the crucial importance of bees.
