Acerca de esta escucha

Honey bees get all the press, but the fascinating story of North America's native bees - an endangered species essential to our ecosystems and food supplies - is just as crucial. Our Native Bees is the result of Paige Embry's yearlong quest to learn more about these forgotten, yet fundamental, creatures.

Through interviews with farmers, gardeners, scientists, and bee experts, Embry 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: Embry goes on a bee hunt with the world expert on the likely extinct Franklin'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.

For bee enthusiasts and anyone who us curious about the natural world, Our Native Bees is an illuminating exploration of the pollinators essential to our survival.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Designed to educate everyone from bee and honey enthusiasts to amateur gardeners and agricultural professionals, Embry's captivating profiles of just a few of the myriad native bee species and the dedicated individuals and institutions committed to their survival are as entertaining as they are enlightening."

Very engaging and so glad that she discusses the Franklin’s Bumblebee whose habitat surrounds where I currently live. Inspiration to find Franky!

My 8yo falls asleep to this book daily

Paige takes us all on an adventure with her as she learns what she and her neighbors didn't know about Americas bees. This is a fun, frequently humorous and light-hearted journey into the world of the citizen scientist. As homeschoolers, we found it to be a perfect view of the world around around us chocked full of elementary facts about life science and learning science. It's written for non-scientific readers.

One For Little Miss Starshine

Short and sweet, the book is a bit of a pillow upon which to lay a wearied head. It consists on Embry's gonzo insertion of herself into entomological and agricultural communities concerned with bees going extinct and bees that are being used as pollinators. The style is very feminine, and probably aimed at a readership between 12 years old and 18 years old. While "good" in the American sense, I felt like the detail was lacking and the conservation ecology discourse was short-sighted in areas. The reportage on golf clubs and pesticide companies banding together to save insects almost made me wonder if some money had changed hands. The depiction of industrial farmers planting a few wild flowers beside their giant crops and then driving past them in their buggies because they are too lazy to walk, and saying "problem solved honey" made me laugh.

But this book is the only thing on non-honeybee bees on audible. Somebody please write something better.

This was a great book that makes me want to plant some sunflower seeds and go on a bee expedition! Our native bees are indeed the red headed step child of the pollinator world and this book lets them shibe abd show their importance!

Fascinating Book

This is an awesome book - I enjoyed learning about the "little things that run the world" as E. O Wilson says. This book was especially exciting for me since it brought to life several people that I see as I do my Citizen Science work at Notes form Nature (https://www.notesfromnature.org/). It is inspiring to see all of the people who work so hard to preserve these little creatures that go unnoticed by the vast majority of people in their daily life. A great window into the fascinating world of bees and the people who study them.
