Bees and Their Keepers

I begin to yearn for bees of my own while reading this … Moller has done her research well and there is a swarm of quotes, character introductions, fact boxes and thematic strokes … The book is actually a history of ideas about bees, filled to the brim with thoughts and notions about man’s best friend - on six legs. - Arbeterbladet

Educational and entertaining, it adds insight to how humans throughout time have co-existed with bees and it also puts the present in relief against this history spanning several thousand years . . . The book becomes solace against escalating climate angst, the inability to act, and apathy - because from history’s swarm of bee-keepers emerges a strong counter-movement: an embryo of hope for the future of mankind and the planet. - Vasterbottens-Kuriren

In her wonderful bee book, Lotte Moller describes how humans and bees have accompanied each other throughout history, and tells us about her own bees (which initially she feared), honey frauds, hive models, bee sex, and today’s complex bee world. Beautiful, readable and bee supportive. - Allt om Tradgard

A fine balance of knowledge and humour on a high level … Like a diligent bee, Lotte Moller travels through the ages … You do not want it to end, but all of a sudden it does, and you are left with a faint humming in your head - Weekendavisen

Bees and Their Keepers is an entertaining book - easy to love and learn from - Dagen
