To celebrate the publication of this timely and enthralling new book about the social, environmental and economic consequences of the world's rapidly diminishing bee population, Guardian Books are hosting a series of public events.

Authors Alison Benjamin and Brian McCallum reveal what they have discovered during their months of research for the book about the humble honeybee.
