Spectacular photographs allow us to see nature through the eyes of bees for the first timeBees perceive colours differently to humans. They cannot see red, but they can see ultraviolet light, and they are attracted by floral stimuli that remain hidden to the human eye. In this book of nature photographs, Craig P. Burrows shows us the bee's view of nature for the first time in over 140 fascinating photographs taken using UVIVF (ultraviolet induced visible fluorescence) technology, revealing a previously hidden world. In addition, Burrows, together with the world's leading bee experts, illuminates all the scientific facts and latest findings in bee research in an understandable and accessible way. A unique insight into the magical world of honeybees.Everything you need to know about bees and their complex relationship with nature and manAlmost a decade has been spent by photographer Craig P.
