An incomparable illustrated look at the critical role bees play in the life of our planet

Bees pollinate more than 130 fruit, vegetable, and seed crops that we rely on to survive. Bees are also crucial to the reproduction and diversity of flowering plants, and the economic contributions of these irreplaceable insects measure in the tens of billions of dollars each year. Yet bees are dying at an alarming rate, threatening food supplies and ecosystems around the world. In this richly illustrated natural history of the bee, which includes more than 250 color photographs and illustrations, Noah Wilson-Rich and his team of bee experts provide a window into the vitally important role that bees play in the life of our planet.

Earth is home to more than 20,000 bee species, from fluorescent-colored orchid bees and sweat bees to flower-nesting squash bees and leaf-cutter bees. This book provides an unmatched account of this astounding diversity, blending an engaging narrative with practical, hands-on discussions of such topics as beekeeping and bee health. It explores our relationship with the bee over evolutionary time, examining how it originated and where it stands today--and what the future holds for humanity and bees alike.

Divider doesn’t work
Color: Stainless Steel
Size is great. Quality is great except for the divider, which doesn’t work at all. It’s too loose and doesn’t stay on

Something I never knew I needed, and now can’t live without!
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
Absolutely perfect, high quality organizer. I was constantly reaching under the kitchen cupboards for sponges and drain stoppers which then cluttered up the sink while letting them dry before putting away. I love the size and option to put the basket on the outside edge for more space. It holds everything I need. I especially like the stone underneath so I can place it anywhere and not have to worry about a drain spout. Keeps my sink and counters clean and organized and looks great in my kitchen.

Best kitchen caddy!
Color: Black, Size: Large
This is the best kitchen caddy. It works well on the edge of my sink. It's a little bigger than I thought. My measurements were off, not there's. I propped up one side and it works beautifully. It holds all the sponges, soap, and cleaning utensils needed to clean your dishes. Now my kitchen sink is clutter-free. It also looks great!
