Our Native Bees: North America’s Endangered Pollinators and the Fight to Save Them

A New York Times 2018 Holiday Gift Selection

Honey bees get all the press, but the fascinating story of North Americaâ€™s native beesâ€”endangered species essential to our ecosystems and food suppliesâ€”is just as crucial. Through interviews with farmers, gardeners, scientists, and bee experts, Our Native Bees explores the importance of native bees and focuses on why they play a key role in gardening and agriculture. The people and stories are compelling: Paige Embry goes on a bee hunt with the world expert on the likely extinct Franklinâ€™s bumble bee, raises blue orchard bees in her refrigerator, and learns about an organization that turns the out-of-play areas in golf courses into pollinator habitats. Our Native Bees is aÂ fascinating, must-read for fans of natural history and science and anyoneÂ curious about bees.Â
