Trade Review
"Exploring bees though the eyes of melittologist Professor Laurence Packer in Bees of the World is an extravaganza of astounding photography and detailed accounts of the seven living species of bee known today."---Ann Chilcott, BeeListener
"The book provides clear, accurate accounts of the seven bee families, presenting all the key information on generic bee characteristics, habits, and habitat, illustrated with lovely photographs that how bees in their natural habitats." * Pest Magazine *
"This is a fine book, stacked with information, and it should be on the shelf of everyone who cherishes the natural world and its captivating diversity."---David M. Gascoigne, Travels With Birds
"This is a delightful, handsome book to keep or give to another. It has already been tremendously useful to me (I’ll be citing it on many of my pages!), and I am sure it will be of great value and interest to many more bee enthusiasts all over the world."---Amanda Williams, Buzz About Bees
"This is certainly no mere ‘coffee table book’ but I will thoroughly enjoy using spare moments to flick through the sumptuous photographs and expand my knowledge of these fascinating insects via the informative text."---Adrian Knowles, British Journal of Entomology and Natural History
