I loved this quirky little book with its parchment like pages and almost naive illustrations. Lots of interesting snippets of information about bees, I found out loads I didn't know.

A nice little book, with beautiful illustrations. I want my garden to be even more bee-kind after that read: sounds like mission accomplished for the author.

This was a cute book with nice illustrations, and an easy to read lay-out. I think it would be more suited to kids in a way, as it wasn’t very in depth, it was like a quick, quirky overview. I found there was only limited information relating to actual planting for bees. It did have some interesting facts in it.

Loads of bee information, trivia, folklore, and verse. Lovely.

I love the look of this book! So cute and has a old fashioned feeling due to the parchment looking pages and little artwork pictures! Great information inside too!
