This book will provide travel narratives and word-paintings to satisfy the adventurous soul, as well as interviews to educate and inform how we can heal bee populations and promote their habitats. As you take this journey with me, we will learn both in our heads and in our hearts why bees and other pollinators are so important.
After traveling by bicycle through New York, and then by train through Canada from Toronto to Vancouver, my pedal-powered travels will take me from the apples, cherries, and hazelnut orchards of Washington down to the almond, avocado, and orange groves of California. I will contact many farmers and other earth stewards in passing. Between these stops, hundreds of individuals each day will see an oddly inspiring man donning a bee-patterned helmet, complete with antennae, riding down the US 101 on a Vitamin “B” Road bicycle. The symbolism is unmistakable: I am representing the bees and insect life in general.
“The search for knowledge and truth blesses us two-fold. I have reveled in both the journey and the destination. This bee has flown its hive, gathered goodness from myriad flowers, and returned.”

Certainly, there is no lack of books about nature. Tomes on botany, zoology, ornithology, and anthropology could fill libraries and indeed have. This book is an attempt to unfold the “why” rather than the “what” of nature: To bring those tenets of nature as close to home as possible; and to form a bridge between the inner world and the outer world. How many countless of us feel, to some degree, divided against the natural world, and even against our own innate tendencies and needs? This work is the author’s humble contribution to healing that divide.
The first section is a series of short essays which each focus on one aspect of the human experience, something that I believe is at the crux of what it is to be a human being. Regardless of your cultural background, each of these chapters will resonate with the core of your humanity. The second section is a series of nature-writings — the author’s wanderings in wild spaces — that hopes to take the reader back to the originator of human culture. All traditional hunter-gatherer societies looked to the natural world for patterns, beauty, inspiration towards creativity, and spiritual meaning. It is time to inoculate society with the wisdom and hope of nature. “In God’s great wildness lies the hope of mankind,” John Muir once penned. May you enjoy and deeply consider these words.
