English Summary/英文概要： The loss of bees and other pollinators is one of the biggest challenges society faces. People are concerned and frequently write to their elected representatives seeking solutions. This landmark book sets out the important roles that corporations and investors can play in helping to fix pollinator declines and protect future profits and societal well-being. -- Matt Shardlow, Chief Executive, Buglife
Our bee populations are under threat. Over the past 60 years, they have lost much of their natural habitat and are under assault from pesticides and intensive farming. We rely on bees and other insects to pollinate our fruit and vegetables and, without them,our environment and economy will be in crisis.The Business of Bees provides the first integrated account of diminishing bee populations, as well as other pollinators, from an interdisciplinary perspective. It explores the role of corporate responsibility and governance as they relate to this critical issue and examines what the impact will be on consumers, companies, stock markets and ultimately on global society if bee populations continue to decline at a dangerous rate.
The book explores the impact of the rapid decline in pollinator populations on the natural world, on corporations, on the stock market and on accounting. The Business of Bees will be essential reading for those in academia, business and finance sectors and anyone invested in the future of our planet.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 蜜蜂种群的数量正在经受威胁。在过去六十年中，很多自然栖息地都已经不复存在，蜜蜂还经受了杀虫剂和密集养殖的考验。我们需要仰赖蜜蜂和其他昆虫来为水果和蔬菜授粉，没有它们，我们的环境和经济都将经受危机。本书第一次从综合角度研究了蜜蜂数量下降以及其他可授粉的昆虫数量下降给我们带来的影响。书中探索了企业责任和政府面对这个危机的处理，以及考察了假如蜜蜂数量继续下降直至达到危险的程度将对消费者、企业、股市以及最终全球社会产生怎样的影响。
本书研究了可授粉生物的不断减少对于自然世界、企业、股市等带来的影响。本书适合学术读者，也适合商业和金融方向的学生以及所有对投资我们这个星球的未来感兴趣的读者。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：本书探索了养蜂这个行业的整体情况，以及蜜蜂数量减少对于企业和政府所起的作用，以及最终这将如何影响到消费者、企业、股市和全球社会。本书的内容从学术方面对于金融行业所涉及的会计学、科学和人文学科和实践有所启示。这不是很轻松的读物，所讲述的不仅仅是想象中养蜂是怎样的行业。但如果你所在的企业对于授粉这件事有所兴趣，或者你们的投资从某种程度上说会从中受益，或者对于研究有学术兴趣，那么这本书中讲述的信息就是非常有价值了。（Kim Flottum，《蜜蜂文化》杂志编辑）What [this book] does do is look at a much bigger picture of the industry of bees, and the roles that corporations and governments play in the issues of honey bee decline, and examines what the impact will be on consumers, companies, stock markets and global society in general. It addresses inputs from academics in accounting, science and humanities and practitioners in the finance industry. This is not a light-read how-to beekeeping book by any stretch of the imagination. However, if you are part of a corporation that has a vested interest in some level of pollination, have input at some level of government that benefits from this, or contribute to an academic level of research, the information in this book is a remarkable jumping off place. -- Kim Flottum, Editor Bee Culture Magazine
