Recs if you like Our Native Bees: North America’s Endangered Pollinators and the Fight to Save Them...

A nonfiction list dedicated to learning about the most numerous animals on our planet - the tiny and mighty minibeasts!

"Minibeasts" is an informal term used to describe small invertebrates - this includes, but is absolutely not limited to, insects, arachnids, snails, slugs, and worms! Would you call it a creepy crawly or a bug? Then it's probably a minibeast!

List name has been altered to differentiate it from the quest. I'll likely remove the list soon, as a heads up 💚

Did you know that male bees explode after mating? And they also explode if they get too hot. You're welcome.

These books are about bees in some way, with cameos from their ancestor, the wasp.

(TW: for insects)

🐋 dive into reflective reads that will make you cry, laugh, and reimagine the future of the human condition and our relationship to the natural world.

this list is a diverse mix of science, climate, foodways, migration, social and political organizing, and history that has shaped our present. fans of alie ward's olologies podcast welcome here.
