A stirring new book.

Striking...The title echoes Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and the implications are similarly harrowing. Jacobsen reminds readers that bees provide not just the sweetness of honey, but also are a crucial link in the life cycle of our crops.

If honeybees and their wild relatives vanish, we could lose some of our most luscious fruits and vegetables...In Fruitless Fall, Mr. Jacobsen warns that we may be on the brink of just such a disaster... [Jacobsen's] analysis is helpful and instructive.
Wall Street Journal

Very scary... Rowan Jacobsen explains in layman's terms and with a rising urgency why autumn's mellow fruitfulness won't happen unless we take better care of... the honeybee. To write his book, Mr. Jacobsen had to take a "bee's-eye view of the world," but the result is surprisingly human...A passionate sequel to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
