Victory gardens for bees : a DIY guide to saving the bees

Summary: "Each of us can do our part to make gardens and neighbourhoods healthy sanctuaries for bees, which play a critical role in the survival of many plant communities and the continuation of life on this planet. Citizens once banded together to produce Victory Gardens to offset the food shortages of World Wars I and II. Now a similar collective effort is needed to make our gardens into life-saving shelters for bees." back cover.
