\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each entry from Winston\u2014field journals from his over 40 years of scientific research into the biology and nature of bees\u2014invites us to accompany him on a colourful journey of both facts and philosophy. As we are guided from Vancouver to Kansas to French Guiana and beyond, Winston\u2019s journals use both research and opinion to cleverly remind us of our impact on the bees and how that impact shapes our world.<\/p>\n

Between each research expedition we\u2019re invited to embark upon, Saklikar punctuates Winston\u2019s sentiments with vivid poems that teem with life. Saklikar\u2019s words invite us to dive into the hive using intense, hypnotic precision of language. Each poetic response gives palpable emotional context to Winston\u2019s passionately written scientific insights on this critical species.<\/p>\n

Winston\u2019s focus on understanding and maintaining environmental diversity\u2014coupled with real-world examples\u2014provides crystal-clear perspective on our responsibility to protect our planet and its pollinators.<\/p>\n

There is nothing better than art that makes us question who we are and who we want to be. Listening to the Bees<\/em>, with its incredible ability to show us the inside of the hive in all its life-giving glory, will make the reader reconsider their connection to the Earth and their responsibility for its survival.<\/p>\n

This excellent book, an exciting fusion of art and science, offers readers an incredible learning experience as it guides them on a journey set to change their culture irrevocably, provided we are willing to listen to the bees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
