Capitalist Agriculture and the Global Bee Crisis

presents a political ecology of pollination that critically examines how managed honey and bumble bees and wild bees are harmed by capitalist industrial agriculture.
focuses on the three most urgent problems: the standardization and simplification of landscapes through monocultures; the use of pesticides including neonicotinoids, other insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides; and the embeddedness of commercial, migratory beekeeping in the capitalist industrial agriculture system
this book will be of significant interest to readers of political ecology, animal geographies, environmental anthropology, food system studies, and critical animal studies.
