  A FACINATING TRAVEL MEMOIR THAT WILL ALTER THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT THE BUMBLEBEE
  
  Dave
Goulson became obsessed with wildlife as a small boy growing up in rural Shropshire, starting with an increasingly
exotic menagerie of pets. When his interest turned to the anatomical, there were even some ill-fated experiments with
taxidermy. But bumblebees are where Goulson's true passion lies.
  His passionate quest to reintroduce the
bumblebee to its native land is one of the highlights of a book that includes exclusive research into these mysterious
creatures, history's relationship with the bumblebee, and advice on how to protect the bumblebee for future
generations.
  One of the United Kingdom's most respected conservationists and the founder of the Bumblebee
Conservation Trust, Goulson combines light-hearted tales of a child's growing passion for nature with a deep insight
into the crucial importance of the bumblebee. He details the minutiae of life in the nest, sharing fascinating research
into the effects intensive farming has had on our bee population and the potential dangers if we are to continue down
this path.

  From Booklist
  
  Although the disturbing recent spread of bee
colony collapse disorder has prompted media outlets to take a closer look at these humble, honey-gathering insects, for
Goulson, the study of bees has been a lifelong passion. As he recounts in this absorbing and informative hybrid between
guidebook and memoir, Goulson fell in love with the buzzing creatures as a young nature buff growing up in rural
Shropshire, England. However, one variety of bee, the short-haired bumblebee, which Goulson observed as a boy, is now
gone, a fact that spurred him to found the Bumblebee Conservation Trust and lead efforts to bring this particular
species back to the UK from New Zealand. In between describing the ordeal that ensued when Goulson and a fellow
entomologist traveled to New Zealand to solve the puzzle of shipping bumblebee queens back to England, the author gives
readers a solid grounding in bee gestation, anatomy, culture, and the many environmental threats bees are currently
facing. An outstanding piece of nature writing that also celebrates one of humankind’s most cherished insects.

  Review
  
  “A Sting in the Tale is both a whodunit as well as a revealing
study of a bug on whom we depend a great deal.” ―Seattle Times
  
  “A Sting in the Tale
melts memoir and conservation issues into a sweet pot, moving from subject to subject very much in the manner of a
foraging bee seeking flowers . . . The book is warm and delightful: I frequently found myself wanting to put it down to
go bird and bee-watching, to find for myself the species [Goulson] discusses.” ―NPR
  
 
“[Goulson's] enthusiasm shines through as he tells of his attempt to bring the short-haired bumblebee back to
Britain, its native land . . . Goulson transforms what could be dry material with stinging wit.” ―New York
Post
  
  “Fascinating and inspiring. Dave Goulson is a genial raconteur, with much to teach us about
the biology and conservation of our insect cousins.” ―D. G. Haskell, author of Pulitzer Prize Finalist The
Forest Unseen
  
  “Goulson's personal touch is stamped throughout...peppered with fascinating
observations, a sense of good cheer, and Goulson's undeniable passion for an oft-uncelebrated subject, here presented
for appreciation by the casual armchair naturalist.” ―Publishers Weekly
  
  “What you
never knew about bumblebees, from a man who is both passionate and knowledgeable....[An] impressive debut....A
delightful book by an author filled with enthusiasm for the natural world and in possession of just the right touch for
sharing it with others.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred)
  
  “Absorbing and informative...An
outstanding piece of nature writing that also celebrates one of mankind's most cherished insects.”
―Booklist
  
  “Goulson's adventures with bumblebees tells the well-written story of the making
of a naturalist, and also enchantingly informs us not only about bees but also about ecosystems and conservation.”
―Bernd Heinrich, Author of Bumblebee Economics and Mind of the Raven
  
  “[Goulson's] book is
not only enormously informative, but also hugely entertaining: its light touch and constant humour make cutting-edge
research a pleasure to read about. For anyone interested in the natural world, this is essential reading.”
―The Independent (London)
  
  “Goulson combines enthusiasm with academic authority, addressing
the amateur beekeeper and professional apiarist in well-judged proportion.” ―The Times (London)
  
  “Goulson has plenty of wondrous biological stories to tell, as well as the tale of his own struggle to return
the short-haired bumblebee to Britain.” ―The Guardian (London)
