An incomparable illustrated look at the critical role bees play in the life of our planet
Bees pollinate more than 130 fruit, vegetable, and seed crops that we rely on to survive. Bees are also crucial to the reproduction and diversity of flowering plants, and the economic contributions of these irreplaceable insects measure in the tens of billions of dollars each year. Yet bees are dying at an alarming rate, threatening food supplies and ecosystems around the world.

This book provides an unmatched account of this astounding diversity, blending an engaging narrative with practical, hands-on discussions of such topics as beekeeping and bee health. It explores our relationship with the bee over evolutionary time, examining how it originated and where it stands today--and what the future holds for humanity and bees alike.- Provides an accessible, richly illustrated look at the human-bee relationship over time

New Bourbon Shelf
I just got done putting it together and hanging it on my wall. It took approximately 35 minutes to put together and another 15 minutes to hang up. I had to use my own larger wall anchors and screws. I tried the ones that came with it but they didn’t do the job. I am happy with it other than that. Good value and quality materials. As you can see from the picture it holds several bottles and room for more if I want. I think the LED lights look great as well.

The Last Cutting Board You’ll Ever Need – Bamboo Perfection
Color: Glue-Free Surface - Round, Set name: Set of 3 (S, M, XL)
I’ve gone through plastic, cheap wood, and even a couple of “premium” boards that warped or cracked within months.
These bamboo cutting boards are in a league of their own. From the moment I unpacked them, the quality was obvious — smooth, dense, and beautifully finished with a warm, natural grain that looks gorgeous on the counter.
Performance is flawless:
Knife-friendly – No deep gouges, even after heavy chopping. My blades stay sharper longer.
Gentle on hands – Lightweight but sturdy; easy to maneuver, yet doesn’t slide around.
Zero warping – I hand-wash and air-dry, and they still look great after daily use.
Juice groove actually works – Catches liquids without overflow (perfect for carving chicken or juicy fruits).
Bonus: They’re sustainable, eco-friendly, and naturally antibacterial — peace of mind when prepping family meals.
I bought the 3-piece set (small, medium, large), and it covers everything from quick garlic mincing to full meal prep. No odor retention, easy to clean with soap and water, and they double as stylish serving trays for charcuterie night.
If you cook even semi-regularly, treat yourself to these. Durable, beautiful, and built to last a lifetime. Worth every penny — and then some!

Excellent Buy
Color: Glue-Free Surface - Round, Set name: Set of 3 (S, M, XL)
We are in an ongoing process to reduce our dependence on plastics. These bamboo cutting boards are stunning, very well made, and easy to care for. I do recommend a wax to keep the surface shiny. Delighted with this purchase!

Beautiful, high-quality, easy to clean, pleasant to use, no glue on food-facing surfaces
Color: Glue-Free Surface - Round, Set name: Set of 3 (S, M, XL)
I love these cutting boards! I've had them about 3 weeks, and use them multiple times per day. They are flat, rigid, lightweight, easy to handle, easy to clean, dry fast, and the range of sizes is great. Much better than the plastic cutting boards they replaced!
The top and bottom of each cutting board is a single piece of bamboo. On the larger boards, one or more darker bands across the board show the bamboo's natural joints, called nodes. The boards are gorgeous to look at, a pleasure to work on, and nice to touch. (I LOVE the rounded edges.)
Each board is a sandwich: top, core, bottom, with all joints on the edges of the board so no glued joint touches your food. The working surfaces smell only of bamboo. (If I sniff the edges where the glued joints are, I can faintly smell wood glue.)
The boards are finished with odorless food-grade mineral oil. After 2 weeks of daily use and detergent scrubs, I started to see a slight dulling of the finish. I refreshed them using the same butcher block oil (odorless food-grade mineral oil) I use on wooden cutting boards. I made sure the bamboo was thoroughly dry, wiped on a small amount of oil, and let them dry overnight in my vertical cutting board rack. This returned the finish to like-new condition.
