Recommended reading - The Bee Book (2016)
The Bee Book offers remarkable insights into their world and shows how we can support and enjoy them in our daily lives.
Ann Patchett, on reading fiction:
It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings.
Following complex story lines stretches our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking, and staying within the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and alone, two skills that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps.
