Book on Bees

[idg]

Can anyone recommend a good book on bees. Not beekeeping but different types of bees:- bumbles, leaf cutters, honeys etc.
I would be interested to learn more about their life cycles, habitats, nature, anatomy etc.

The Field Guide to the Bees of Great Britain and Ireland by Steven Falk is the one to get.

There are some on the reading list for module 8 that your local association might have to lend you.
