Just about everyone knows how important honey bees are to the ecosystem. But what about bumblebees? Author Andrus Voitk realized he didn't know much about those fat and fuzzy pollinators, when he struck up a conversation with a curious six-year-old in Rocky Harbour a few years ago. So he decided to literally write the book on the subject. Voitk is the author of Oliver's Guide to Bumblebees of Newfoundland.
