Mis aventuras con los abejorros
Dave Goulson became obsessed with wildlife growing up in rural Shropshire and began a collection of increasingly exotic pets. But Goulson's true passion is bees. The British shorthaired bumblebee, once common in the marshes of Kent, became extinct in the UK, but, by a twist of fate, it still exists in the wild in New Zealand, descended from a few pairs sent there in the 19th century. Dave Goulson's enthusiastic quest to reintroduce it to its homeland is one of the highlights of a book that includes original research into the habits of these mysterious creatures, the story of bumblebees, and advice on how to protect them for future generations. Goulson, one of the UK's most respected conservationists and founder of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, combines lighthearted tales of a boy's burgeoning passion for nature with profound insights into the crucial importance of bees.
