Chapter Ten: Tracing the Collapse
Three books were especially informative to this chapter, and those were: Hannah Nordhaus’s The Beekeeper’s Lament, Hattie Ellis’s Sweetness & Light, and coming through with an amazing wealth of historical nuggets Hilda Ransome’s The Sacred Bee. Thomas Seeley’s book Honeybee Democracy is largely referenced as well. Several papers coauthored by Dennis vanEngelsdorp, as well as our interview, were very useful, as was my informative interview with CSIRO scientist Paulo de Souza and notes from University of California–Davis professor Elina L. Niño.
