Customer Reviews
The book is well written and is organized in a way that makes it easier for a novice to find a bee. For example, you can look at all the bees that have more of a white color or bees that have really long antennae. Versus many other books that are organized by family and if you don't know what family your bee is in, it can be really difficult for you to look through all the pictures and find the one you saw.We've used it to help narrow down some of the bees that we've seen in our yard and really like reading about them in this guide. Interesting material whether you are actively trying to identify a bee or not!
