This book contains a vast quantity of precious data about plants and bees and it is marvellous to see it in print again and available to new generations. Best of all would be if people selecting trees become aware of this useful information and consult it to inform their choice: nowadays we need whenever possible to choose species and cultivars with value to bees and other insect pollinators.

The meticulous work of gathering data and compiling it into this useful book was a labour of love for Eva Crane and her team. It was the outcome of many years’ scrutiny of the world’s research literature - across many languages, and carefully recording any data pertaining to plants visited by honey bees. By the 1980’s Eva Crane and her team had considerable data on thousands of plant species, each of them reported somewhere in the world to be major sources of honey. They then began the task of selecting from this lengthy list, those 467-plant species which could make it to the short list and be justifiably described as the ‘Important world honey sources’ of the book’s title. For each plant species, data is provided on its economic and other uses, how much nectar / pollen and/or honeydew it provides, honey flow data (if any exist), and concerning the honey’s chemical and physical properties.

I was the youngest member of staff at the International Bee Research Association when Eva Crane was compiling the data for this fantastic book, and remember well the tremendous enthusiasm of the team, and endless discussion of which plants should make it to the short list. IBRA had recently acquired its first ‘WordStar’ word processor, and this was perfect for organising the vast data that had been collected, and permitted it to be readily searched, e.g. to compile lists of salt-tolerant plants, or of honey that granulates quickly. Much of the research that is cited here is from meticulous 20th century field work, watching bees and recording their behaviour - long before the digital era - and of course the observations remain valid. The entries may look at first impenetrable - but persevere to learn the codes and once you begin using this book, you will become addicted to consulting it and the interesting body of work upon which it is built.

10/10 would recommend
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Light Coffee,grass Green,blue,orange,black, Size: 3X-Large, Color: Light Coffee,grass Green,blue,orange,black
I have bought 2 packs of these now, I love them! I wear them mostly to bed or under sweatpants, they're super comfy and good coverage. I don't really care about how these look, I just like not feeling like my underwear is too small for me with my belly or my butt hanging out! I followed the size chart and 3XL sounded way too big but these fit great, tight enough to stay up but don't hurt or leave marks on my thighs/stomach. (for reference: 5'5, 200lbs, waist 32, hips 46)

Love everything except for the seams
Size: Medium, Color: 2 Black,2 Blue,light Coffee
This material of the "2black, 2blue,1 light coffee" color pack is wonderfully silky, soft, and stretchy. The colors are great and they look good on me. The only issue I have is with the seams. I'm very glad there are no seams at the hips, and I know because of that, the seams have to go somewhere. Isn't there a better place to put them than across the most sensitive female area and under my rear end so I sit on hard seams all day? I use these for my sleeping undies, and they are great for that because they're soft and pleasantly snug and so comfy to sleep in. I couldn't wear these during the day and sit on these seams for even 15 minutes. I'll admit I'm sensitive to seams but these leave a significant hard lump (especially contrasted with the wonderful material) and it's such a bummer to have them right under the bum! And across the female parts! The first women's underwear manufacturer that figures out a place to put the seams that aren't digging into hips, scratching sensitive female parts, or situated directly under my rear end while sitting will get ALL MY BUSINESS AND PRAISE. Edit: I purchased a second pack in different colors called "Black,navy,melange,london Blue,burgandy". The material of this second order is not as soft and silky as the first. It's wearable, but has a scratchy roughness to it. The material of the first pack I bought (2black, 2blue,1 light coffee) is much much better.

SOOOO COMFORTABLE
Size: Large, Color: 2 Black,2 Blue,light Coffee
LOVED THESE SO MUCH. FIRST, BOUGHT THEM IN A MEDIUM (I AM 5'3 AND 143 LBS -- WEIGHT GAIN OF 10 LBS DUE TO COVID 19), BUT THEY DID CURL UP. IT DIDN'T MATTER...I COULDN'T EVEN 'FEEL' ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM THE MOMENT I PUT THEM ON -- THEY FLEX RIGHT WITH YOU -- SO SOFT. LOVED THEM SO MUCH, I BOUGHT THEM IN A LARGE. I WILL EITHER WEAR THEM TO BED...OR UNDER MY DRESSES. BOTH SIZES FEEL SO COMFORTABLE -- DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SIZE. IF THEY DON'T HAVE YOUR DESIRED SIZE, TRY THE NEXT SIZE -- YOU WON'T FEEL ANY PINCHING OR DISCOMFORT. AGAIN...SOOO SOFT.

Perfect UV Protection and Comfort for Outdoor Activities
Color: Mist Green, Size: Medium
I recently purchased this UV long sleeve shirt for outdoor activities, and I'm extremely satisfied with my choice. It offers excellent UV protection with a UPF rating of 50+, keeping me safe while at my sons soccer game. The lightweight, breathable fabric kept me cool and comfortable, and its moisture-wicking properties worked well. The fit is was a little flowy. While it is slightly pricier than other options, the quality and performance make it worth the investment. I highly recommend this shirt for anyone seeking a stylish and functional solution for outdoor adventures!
