Bees of Britain FSC Guide

Description

The FSC Butterflies guide features all 60 wild butterflies found in Britain and Ireland.

Making a bee list is a great first step into wildlife identification. Some are easy to identify. But for others you might need to take a closer look. Is that a Buff-tailed Bumblebee or a White-tailed Bumblebee roaming around your flowers? Is that a Early Bumblebee or a Garden Bumblebee buzzing along the hedge? The FSC Butterflies guide can help!

Designed for speedy bee identification in the field, with beautifully detailed colour paintings of each bee by wildlife artist and illustrator Chris Shields.

As well as the paintings, the reverse side of the bee guide includes concise identification notes for each species. This text covers the key characters to look out for, plus flight period, habitat and range. Also included are useful pointers to help distinguish between similar-looking species.
