Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees by Thor Hanson

This book is unique in scope as it goes far beyond just honeybees to introduce you to unique, obscure, seemingly other-worldly species of bees. Hanson starts with the simple question of how bees came to be, and then shows you how, over millions of years, bees created the world as we know it and even set the stage for human existence. Fascinating and well written!
