    Inspirational and important - I want to know the beekeepers who cared for the bees that made my honey
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2016*

Mark Winston is a wise man. His wisdom seems to come from his decades working with bees, his willingness to bring in perspectives from beyond science, his ability to inspire other people, and his openness to dialogue. It is fitting that he was chosen to lead Simon Fraser University's Centre for Dialogue here in Vancouver.Bee time is time as bee keepers experience it in the apiary. It is time slowed down, where being calm, moving slowly, keeping all your senses and intelligence open is the key to not getting stung and to understanding how your bees are doing.The book covers many important topics from colony collapse disorder to urban bee keeping and the role of feral bees in agriculture. It ends by showing how he applies the lessons from a life spent with and studying bees and with bee people has prepared him for leading dialogues on the most serious problems facing cities and civilizations today.I am buying more copies of this book and giving them to people on my own teams, to people I work with, and to drop off for sharing through our local book exchange in Kitsilano.I will also spend a lot more time observing the bees in our garden and changing what we plant. I will not be buying anymore honey from packagers, instead I will be looking for honey from a beek keeper whose name I can find out and whose hives I can visit.Vancouver is lucky to have such a person.

    Fascinating journey into everything honeybees
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2015*

I purchased this book after it was recommended to me by a well-known expert in the field. I'm currently researching bees for my next novel, and the information presented by Winston was invaluable. This book opened up my eyes to a whole new world. I am amazed at the capacity of the honeybee, and fascinated by the lessons we can learn from them. I am so excited about learning even more about these beautiful beings.

    I very much liked Winston's depiction of the history and ecology of bees
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2015*

This book was largely well-written and clear.  I very much liked Winston's depiction of the history and ecology of bees.  I also think he makes a good point about bees being the canaries in the mine.  Where the author goes astray, in my opinion, is in his trying to ride that last point  too long.  It felt as if he was repeating because he needed to make a longer book.
