A superb book beautifully written by F. W. L. Sladen and originally published in 1912.
The book discusses the 26 species of true and cuckoo bumble-bees native to the UK, using a number of line drawings, black & white photographs and coloured plates.
Sladen's fascination and dedication to these insects is clear and inspiring throughout and the depth of his studies is obvious but in no way overstated. The resulting book is also wonderfully readable.
The book includes a facsimile of the then 16-year old Sladen's first publication, stencil-copied and bound by himself in 1892.
All in all, a real pleasure to read, for anyone with a passing or greater interest in bumble-bees.
Listmania!
