Humans have studied bees for centuries, but how well do we understand them? Debunking quite a few myths, beekeeper Lotte Möller explores the activities inside and outside the hive while charting the bees' natural order and habits. Along the way, Möller profiles a trigger-happy Californian beekeeper raging against both killer bees and bee politics, warring beekeepers on the Danish island of L?so, and Brother Adam of Buckfast Abbey, breeder of the Buckfast queen now popular throughout Europe.
