Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider A Sting in the Tale by Dave Goulson.
“A Sting in the Tale stitches together childhood mischief, hands-on fieldwork, and straightforward conservation advice into an accessible, often funny portrait of bumblebees and why they matter. The book’s useful part is turning obscure insect lives into memorable scenes and small, actionable steps for gardeners and nature lovers. Its main limitation is uneven depth and occasional repetition: passages that charm can be followed by long lists or procedural descriptions that slow the narrative for readers seeking lean, data-rich prose.”
