"Distilling more than fifty years of the authors' intense fieldwork into a beautifully illustrated and readable natural history, Bees of Costa Rica is a must-have for travelers who want to meet the bees that give us landscapes filled with orchids, mass-flowering trees, tropical orchards, and coffee plantations."
– Peter Bernhardt, Missouri Botanical Garden, coeditor of Darwin's Orchids

"With hundreds of stunning images, Bees of Costa Rica treats readers to a tour of Costa Rica's splendid bees and flowers, introducing a myriad of other pollinators, predators, and freeloaders of the system along the way. Paul Hanson and his coauthors outdo themselves with this must-read, timeless book."
