This work is focused on the stinging insects known as Hymenoptera aculeata, exploring various species of wild bees, wasps, and ants found predominantly in Britain. The book aims to educate the general public about the diverse habitats and behaviors of these insects, which are often overlooked outside the familiar hive bee and common wasp. The opening of the text sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the Hymenoptera, emphasizing the significance of these insects in the ecosystem. Saunders mentions that most people are only familiar with a handful of common species and aims to shed light on the broader variety, with over 400 species in Britain alone. He discusses the distinction between solitary and social insects, detailing their nesting habits and life cycles. The preface invites nature enthusiasts to observe and appreciate these creatures, encouraging readers to engage with the fascinating world of stinging insects and their complex behaviors.
