So this account captures some of the transcendent joy that is keeping bees, but contrasts this strongly with the major case common to all the writers in this anthology, that treating agriculture as a commodity, turning bees into mere honey producers as opposed to living, elegant colonies of life and living beings is a sure way in the end to court disaster.
Perhaps it is because I have only just read it, but the general thesis of this book reminds me a great deal of [[Escape from Bubbleworld by Keith Skene]], a very scientific approach to just the same ideas of an interconnected ecosystem which feeds back its problems and 'sickness' if only we are prepared to listen. And of course , this interconnectedness of things is nowhere better or more beautifully expressed than in [[Silent Spring by Rachel Carson]]. You might also appreciate [[The History of Bees by Maja Lunde and Diane Oatley (translator)]].
