The story of a derelict farm in the heart of rural France, together with 33 acres of surrounding meadow and how, over a decade, the author created a place for his beloved bumblebees to thrive. But other creatures live there too, myriad insects of every kind. The keen insight offered by a professional biologist teaches how a Deathwatch Beetle finds its mate, about the importance of houseflies, why butterflies have spots on their wings, about dragonfly sex, bed-bugs and wasps. 288 pages.
