Bees, those captivating and enigmatic creatures, have long held our fascination. Yet their importance extends far beyond our admiration; they are, in fact, crucial to the very fabric of our natural world. It's not just the honey-makers that deserve our attention, mind you. With over 20,000 species worldwide, only a select few actually produce honey, and their living arrangements vary from bustling colonies to solitary existences.
These remarkable insects are in dire need of our protection, but one cannot safeguard what one does not cherish, nor can one cherish what remains unknown. 'The Good Bee' serves as a tribute to these indispensable natural magicians. Within its pages, you'll uncover the intricacies of bee behaviour—including those aspects that continue to perplex even the most learned experts—and explore their vital role in nature, their historical relationship with humans, the grave threats they currently face, and, most critically, how we can take action to ensure their survival.
This exquisitely crafted tome, adorned with hand-drawn illustrations throughout, is both an essential guide and a treasure to be cherished. It offers a comprehensive look at these remarkable creatures, shedding light on their complex lives and the urgent need for their conservation.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
