The World of Bees

There are thousands of different species of bees, and more than 200 have been discovered in Norway alone. Together, these species weave a fascinating tapestry of stories about our nature.

Through a season spent on Elwyn Island, her childhood summer island, Henning Torp Py takes us on a journey into the world of wild bees. With the eye of a curious researcher and a pure passion for nature, she writes about the wonderful interaction between bees, flowers, and the surrounding environment. “The World of Bees” is a book about the amazing diversity of species that surround us and how the world opens up to us when we cultivate our senses and immerse ourselves in nature.

“In her wonder at nature, the author draws much inspiration from Hans Bürle and Jon Kalmer Stefansson, but I think the book is at its most powerful when the author herself lifts her gaze and conveys the living nature of Elwyn in her own poetic style.”
