Vanishing Bees
In 2005, beekeepers in the United States began observing a mysterious and disturbing phenomenon: once-healthy colonies of bees were suddenly collapsing, leaving behind empty hives full of honey and pollen. Over the following decade, widespread honeybee deaths-some of which have come to be called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)-have continued to bedevil beekeepers and threaten the agricultural industries that rely on bees for pollination. Scientists continue to debate the causes of CCD, yet there is no clear consensus on how to best solve the problem.
Vanishing Beestakes us inside the debates over widespread honeybee deaths, introducing the various groups with a stake in solving the mystery of CCD, including beekeepers, entomologists, growers, agrichemical companies, and government regulators. Drawing from extensive interviews and first-hand observations, Sainath Suryanarayanan and Daniel Lee Kleinman examine how members of each group have acquired, disseminated, and evaluated knowledge about CCD. In addition, they explore the often-contentious interactions among different groups, detailing how they assert authority, gain trust, and build alliances.
As it explores the contours of the CCD crisis,Vanishing Beesconsiders an equally urgent question: what happens when farmers, scientists, beekeepers, corporations, and federal agencies approach the problem from different vantage points and cannot see eye-to-eye? The answer may have profound consequences for every person who wants to keep fresh food on the table.

Where Honeybees Thrive
Colony Collapse Disorder, ubiquitous pesticide use, industrial
agriculture, habitat reduction-these are just a few of the issues
causing unprecedented trauma in honeybee populations worldwide. In
this artfully illustrated book, Heather Swan embarks on a narrative
voyage to discover solutions to-and understand the sources of-the
plight of honeybees.
Through a lyrical combination of creative nonfiction and visual
imagery, Where Honeybees Thrive tells the stories of the
beekeepers, farmers, artists, entomologists, ecologists, and other
advocates working to stem the damage and reverse course for this
critical pollinator. Using her own quest for understanding as a
starting point, Swan highlights the innovative projects and
strategies these groups employ. Her mosaic approach to engaging
with the environment not only reveals the incredibly complex
political ecology in which bees live-which includes human and
nonhuman actors alike-but also suggests ways of comprehending and
tackling a host of other conflicts between postindustrial society
and the natural world. Each chapter closes with an illustrative
full-color gallery of bee-related artwork.
A luminous journey from the worlds of honey producers, urban
farmers, and mead makers of the United States to those of
beekeepers of Sichuan, China, and researchers in southern Africa,
Where Honeybees Thrive traces the global web of efforts to
secure a sustainable future for honeybees-and ourselves.
