Honey Bees by Arndt & Tautz
The Natural History Museum shop has tables piled with books with appealing titles and covers, and among them I saw a heavy hardback entitled Honey Bees. Maybe just a superficial coffee table book….who is the author?…oh, this is a serious book. It was by Juergen Tautz and Ingo Arndt. I picked it up.
Juergen Tautz is a researcher who writes expertly about bees. And Ingo Arndt is a brilliant photographer. His name is first on the cover, maybe to be alphabetical but also because this is a “picture-led” book.
It was my birthday - the perfect excuse (if one were needed) to buy it.
I’ve just started reading it, and it’s a beautiful thing to read.
Nothing to do with the book, except that it was also in the Natural History Museum.
