The most comprehensive and up-to-date general reference book on
honey bee biology Honey bees are marvelously charismatic organisms
with a long history of interaction with humans. They are vital to
agriculture and serve as a model system for many basic questions in
biology. This authoritative book provides an essential overview of
honey bee biology, bringing established topics up to date while
incorporating emerging areas of inquiry. Honey Bee Biology covers
everything from molecular genetics, development, and physiology to
neurobiology, behavior, and pollination biology. Placing special
attention on the important role of bees as pollinators in
agricultural ecosystems, it incorporates the latest findings on
pesticides, parasites, and pathogens. This incisive and
wide-ranging book also sheds vital light on the possible causes of
colony collapse disorder and the devastating honey bee losses we
are witnessing today. The study of honey bees has greatly expanded
in recent years and there is more interest in these marvelous
creatures than ever before. Honey Bee Biology is the first
up-to-date general reference of its kind published in decades. It
is a must-have resource for social insect biologists,
scientifically savvy beekeepers, and any scientist interested in
bees as a model system.
