A Buzz In The Meadow by Dave Goulson

A lyrical, accessible exploration of a restored wildflower meadow over the course of a year that follows bees, butterflies, beetles and other small creatures; blending vivid natural-history observation with scientific insight, it reveals the surprising behaviors, life cycles and interconnections of invertebrates. The narrative celebrates the meadow’s rich biodiversity, explains why pollinators and tiny animals matter for ecosystems and food production, highlights threats such as habitat loss and pesticides, and makes a persuasive case for simple conservation actions to restore and protect nature close to home.
