Dave Goulson se obsesionó con la vida silvestre cuando era pequeño y crecía en la zona rural de Shropshire, comenzando con una colección de mascotas cada vez más exóticas. Cuando su interés se dirigio hacia lo anatomico incluso hubo algunos experimentos malogrados con la taxidermia. Pero la verdadera pasion de Goulson son las abejas, en particular el humilde abejorro.El abejorro ingles de pelo corto, que antaño era comun en las marismas de Kent, se extinguio en el Reino Unido pero, por un giro del destino, sigue existiendo en las zonas silvestres de Nueva Zelanda, descendiente de unas pocas parejas enviadas en el siglo XIX. La apasionada busqueda de Dave Goulson para reintroducirlo en su tierra natal es uno de los aspectos mas destacados de un libro que incluye investigaciones originales sobre los habitos de estas misteriosas criaturas, la relacion de la historia con el abejorro y consejos sobre como protegerlo para las generaciones futuras.Goulson, uno de los conservacionistas mas respetados del Reino Unido y fundador del Bumblebee Conservation Trust, combina relatos desenfadados sobre la creciente pasion de un niño por la naturaleza con una vision profunda de la importancia crucial del abejorro. Detalla las minucias de la vida en el nido, compartiendo fascinantes investigaciones sobre los efectos que la agricultura intensiva ha tenido en nuestra poblacion de abejas y los peligros potenciales si seguimos por este camino.
