"Between saying and doing, there is a sea" is a saying that highlights with great effectiveness the distance that separates thought and action, good will and good practices.The sea in the middle is the ditch full of fears, prejudices and indifference that often precludes action, but it is also the Mediterranean, which separates the affluent North, which loudly proclaims respect for rights, from the South of the world, tormented by wars and poverty, where rights are such for only a very few.The book, beautifully illustrated, describes through a travelogueand some in-depth fact sheets the attempt made by the authorsto join the two shores of that sea, through beekeeping,drawing on their skills as researchers and teachers.
