Keeping the bees : why all bees are at risk and what we can do to save them / by Packer, Laurence Dennis Marchant,1955-(CARDINAL)809439;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-262) and index.Buzz free: a world without bees -- The future of our food -- Honey, queens, hard-working workers and stings: misconceptions about bees -- A bee or not a bee? a difficult question to answer -- Two bees or not two bees? an even more difficult question to answer -- It's a bee's life -- The sociable bee -- Sex and death in bees -- Where the bee sucks, there hunt I -- Anti-bees -- What are we doing to the bees? -- The proverbial canaries in the coal mine -- Help the bees -- Epilogue.From the jungles of South America to the deserts of Arizona, one thing remains consistent: bees are disappearing. A world without bees would be much less colorful, with fewer flowers. But that's not all--bees are responsible for up to one-third of our food supply, and the consequences of not taking action to protect them are frightening. While the media focuses on colony-collapse disorder and the threats to honey bees specifically, the real danger is much greater: all bees are at risk, whether it be from loss of habitat, pesticide use, or disease, among other factors. And because of the integral role these insects play in the ecology of our planet, we may be at risk as well. In Keeping the Bees, Laurence Packer, a melittologist whose life revolves around bees, debunks many myths about these creatures and takes us behind the scenes with scientists around the world who are working to save these fascinating creatures before it's too late.

The beekeepers : how humans changed the world of bumble bees / by Church, Dana L.,author.(CARDINAL)863765;
Includes bibliographical references and index.New bees on the block -- Humble-bees -- Super bees -- Escape! -- Bees in the spotlight -- Poisoning Bumble bees -- Bumble bee "smarts" -- Bumble bees on the brink -- Hope for Bumble bees."Bumble bees are rather charming, buzzing from flower to flower with their furry black and yellow bodies. Depending on where you live, the bees you see might be escapees from a greenhouse or "bumble bee factory." They might even be descendants of stowaways on Viking ships. Thanks to humans, bumble bees are world travelers, spreading to countries that never hosted bumble bees before. For centuries these insects pollinated our crops. But are they pushing out native pollinators? Why are some species of bumble bees flourishing whereas others are floundering, to the point of possibly disappearing forever? Dana Church's narrative nonfiction explores these questions and tells the tale of bumble bees' history with humans. She highlights the interconnectedness of the two species, and touches on the topics of endangerment and extinction, the impact on human agriculture, bumble bee habitats and ecology, and the current crisis of bee protection. With a call to action for young people to become knowledgeable about our natural world and involved in its preservation, it's a hopeful and accessible guide to our history with these teddy bears of the insect world"--Ages 8-12.1180L
