A Sting in the Tale - Tapa dura

Once commonly found in the marshes of Kent, the short-haired bumblebee now only exists in the wilds of New Zealand, the descendants of a few queen bees shipped over in the nineteenth century. Dave Goulson's passionate drive to reintroduce it to its native land is one of the highlights of a book that includes research into these curious creatures, history's relationship with the bumblebee and advice on how to protect it for all time.
