Humblebee Bumblebee: The Life Story of the Friendly Bumblebees and Their Use by the Backyard Gardener by Brian L. Griffin, 5/5

This charmingly illustrated book is written with such warmth and solicitude toward the humble bumblebee that one soon comes to share the author’s view of it as a beautiful and sophisticated creature, not a mere lowly insect.

Why I read it: a thrift store find.
