The Business of Bees provides the first integrated account of diminishing bee populations from an interdisciplinary perspective. It explores the role of corporate responsibility and governance as they relate to this issue and examines what the impact will be on consumers, companies, stock markets and global society if bee populations continue to decline.
What [this book] does do is look at a much bigger picture of the industry of bees, and the roles that corporations and governments play in the issues of honey bee decline, and examines what the impact will be on consumers, companies, stock markets and global society in general. It addresses inputs from academics in accounting, science and humanities and practitioners in the finance industry.This is not a light-read how-to beekeeping book by any stretch of the imagination. However, if you are part of a corporation that has a vested interest in some level of pollination, have input at some level of government that benefits from this, or contribute to an academic level of research, the information in this book is a remarkable jumping off place. - Bee Culture Magazine - Kim Flottum, Editor
