When Tauranga based author, Rachel Weston, was asked by her husband, "Do you know where bumblebees live?" She didn't. When he told Rachel they nested underground, she didn't believe him! This started Rachel's discovery of the delightful bumblebee, their relevance to our eco-system, food and crop production, and their amazing abilities. Rachel couldn't wait to share with children how incredibly cool bumblebees are. Bumblebees Have Smelly Feet is the first book authored and published by Rachel Weston.
