Not every bee lives in a hive. Edward Saunders introduces the wild world of stinging insects: the solitary bees, the parasitic cuckoo bees, the digging wasps, and the ants, all shown in colored plates. A clear naturalist's guide to the busy, overlooked lives in hedge and bank. Look closer at the wild insects around you.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
