Save the Bees!
Business and economics, General non-fiction
Synthetic audio, Automated braille
Summary
Grappling with the strange phenomenon of colony collapse disorder--the baffling disappearance of all bees from a hive that is often blamed for the honeybee's increasingly endangered status--New York City's hobbyist beekeeping communities have gone green. Lisa Jean Moore and Mary… Kosut introduce beekeepers of all stripes: the careful cultivators of 'scientific' beekeeping groups, the passionately political radical 'backwards' beekeepers who hope to return the species to its most natural state, and DIY-influenced 'hipster' beekeepers who share a holistic approach to lowering their environmental impact. Though their approaches may differ, these beekeepers agree on one thing: to save the bee is to save our planet.
