In more than 1100 colour photos, – often up to three photos per species – he shows all the glory of these gorgeous insects. Who belongs to whom can be found unequivocally and quickly by using the cross links.

Wooing, mating, raising of the offspring, and nurturing and caring of the young – Eugène Reiter captured with his camera moving moments that have never been seen in photos in this way. His images tell more than stories ever could and reach any viewer. Love in the animal kingdom is a success story that leaves no one unmoved.

A defence for a bee-friendly world With gorgeous modern illustrations The bee is increasingly becoming a focus of the public, because life in the beehive has become jumbled with unforeseeable consequences for humans. Joana Kelén has embraced this topic. She tells of Maja's birth, goes on a honey-sweet tour of the world and describes the race against time. At the end there is Goodbye Maja! and the question: Why are bees dying like flies? A wonderful book for all friends of nature and those new to bee-keeping, which teaches the reader in a modern way the world of bees and the threat to the bee colony.

Joana Kelén is a communications designer and often deals with ecological and socio-political topics in her work. In her bachelor thesis, for example, she broached the issue of dying bees and learned bee-keeping herself for this purpose. In technical matters she is supported by an organic bee keeper. She recently graduated with a master of arts in design from the Zurich College of Arts.
