After a distinguished academic career, Dr Westwood retired as lecturer at the University of Sussex and became a beekeeper. This insightful and amusing account of bee-fever will strike a cord with all beekeepers. It is full of colour photographs not only about beekeeping but also of honey bees and other pollinators on flowers with a discussion regarding the choices bees make when collecting nectar and pollen. It also includes poetry about the honey bee, recipes, tips on making your own honey labels and amusing anecdotes.
