Marsha Woerner reviewed Buzz, Sting, Bite by Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson
Review of 'Buzz, Sting, Bite' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
It seems like the only books to which I give 5 stars are nonfiction. This is no exception. There were kind of 2 different things about the book:
1st, She talked about different animals and their lives and stages of life. I thought she could have gone into a little more depth on this, but it was pretty good. Insects are amazing creatures, and we humans tend not to grant them their due!
2nd: She explained a good deal of how we do and can benefit from insects overall! She realizes the "ick" factor, and emphasizes that it would behoove us to get past it. We do have our favorites: bees and caterpillars for instance. But fertilization happens NOT ONLY by bees, but several other insects are better at particular plants' fertilization. It is very good and informative!
