The internationally acclaimed honeybee photographer Eric Tourneret spent
fifteen years traveling the world to capture the breathtaking
diversity of bees and beekeeping traditions on six continents. This quest culminated in the publication of
Honey From The Earth.

experts, including Dr. Tom Seeley, Dr. Jurgen Tautz, and Kirk Webster.
