No Future Without Bees?

They secure our food supply.

We could live in a paradise where insects, especially bees, pollinate fragrant seas of flowers whose fruits we harvest.

Pesticides and climate change contribute to the decline of insects - with dramatic consequences for the global ecosystem. Honey is just one of many foods that will no longer be available to us.

A graphic novel that not only encourages reflection but also inspires action. Young German illustrator Hanna Harms visualizes the various aspects of the situation in poetic images - brutally honest. With her debut "Milk Without Honey," she has already won the Ginco Award in the "Best Non-Fiction Comic" category. Bee expert Prof. Dr. Jürgen Tautz places the situation of these crucial animals in a larger context with an afterword. Special attention was given to environmentally friendly production and design.
