Dancing with Bees by Brigit Strawbridge Howard (2/26)

A naturalist’s passionate dive into the lives of bees (of all stripes) and the natural world in her own backyard

Brigit Strawbridge Howard was shocked the day she realised she knew more about the French Revolution than she did about her native trees. And birds. And wildflowers. And bees. The thought stopped her quite literally in her tracks. But that day was also the start of a journey, one filled with silver birches and hairy-footed flower bees, skylarks, and rosebay willow herb, and the joy that comes with deepening one s relationship with place.
