This book contains a vast quantity of precious data about plants and bees and it is marvellous to see it in print again and available to new generations. Best of all would be if people selecting trees become aware of this useful information and consult it to inform their choice: nowadays we need whenever possible to choose species and cultivars with value to bees and other insect pollinators.

The meticulous work of gathering data and compiling it into this useful book was a labour of love for Eva Crane and her team. It was the outcome of many years’ scrutiny of the world’s research literature - across many languages, and carefully recording any data pertaining to plants visited by honey bees. By the 1980’s Eva Crane and her team had considerable data on thousands of plant species, each of them reported somewhere in the world to be major sources of honey. They then began the task of selecting from this lengthy list, those 467-plant species which could make it to the short list and be justifiably described as the ‘Important world honey sources’ of the book’s title. For each plant species, data is provided on its economic and other uses, how much nectar / pollen and/or honeydew it provides, honey flow data (if any exist), and concerning the honey’s chemical and physical properties.

I was the youngest member of staff at the International Bee Research Association when Eva Crane was compiling the data for this fantastic book, and remember well the tremendous enthusiasm of the team, and endless discussion of which plants should make it to the short list. IBRA had recently acquired its first ‘WordStar’ word processor, and this was perfect for organising the vast data that had been collected, and permitted it to be readily searched, e.g. to compile lists of salt-tolerant plants, or of honey that granulates quickly. Much of the research that is cited here is from meticulous 20th century field work, watching bees and recording their behaviour - long before the digital era - and of course the observations remain valid. The entries may look at first impenetrable - but persevere to learn the codes and once you begin using this book, you will become addicted to consulting it and the interesting body of work upon which it is built.

Amazing fit. High quality. Versatile look
Size: Medium, Color: 01-black
This sweater exceeded all expectations. The material is top notch and feels like a much more expensive product. Its not too thick as the sweater can easily be worn with a jacket or coat without being too bulky or hot. It's perfect for those crisp fall days as it will keep you warm even without a jacket. And the fit is exactly as the images suggest. It's an athletic/slim fit sweater that looks great with either dress pants or with a nice pair of jeans. I ordered it in black and red.

Great, stylish and warm mock turtleneck sweater!
Size: Large, Color: Grey
Bought this sweater, because — living down South — I didn't have many winter clothes. But I was kinda shocked by just how NICE and well-made this mock turtleneck was! Very soft, extremely-well fitting and perfect for casual/dressy-casual outings, I've gotten compliments every time I've worn it... and no one EVER compliments me on my clothes! 😄 I love this sweater so much, I ended up buying a second one in a different color... even though I'll probably only need to wear it once a year!
