This book is an exploration of the group, discussing its importance, its biology, and methods of encouraging (or discouraging) them in the garden. It is also an openly impassioned plea for acceptance of life forms that are vastly greater in importance than most humans would imagine and hugely necessary to the world in which we live"--Cover, p. 2. 650 0 Hymenoptera|vPopular works. 650 0 Bees|vPopular works. 650 0 Wasps|vPopular works. 650 0 Ants|vPopular works. 935 564313 994 C0|bRID
