Dean’s book, The Honey of Australian Native Stingless Bees is a book about native stingless bees with an emphasis on honey. It is beautifully illustrated and visually pleasing.
While once little known and shrouded in mystery, our native 'sugarbag' bees have now become very popular.

There are thousands of hives sold each year to schools, families, orchards and farms. This book provides insights for utilising this wealth of bees to extract their unique and amazing honey.

This book is not just about the bees, its also a celebration of the people who love them. It offers a glimpse of Aboriginal connectedness, and early Australian colonist history. It cover’s food safety laws in Australia, and stingless bee innovations in other countries.
