Humans have been fascinated by bees for centuries. Bees display a
wide spectrum of behaviours and ecological roles that have provided
biologists with a vast amount of material for study. Among the
types observed are both social and solitary bees, those that either
pollinate or destroy flowers, and those that display traits
allowing them to survive underwater. Others fly mainly at night,
and some build their nests either in the ground or in the tallest
rain forest trees. This highly acclaimed book summarises and
interprets research from around the world on tropical bee diversity
and draws together major themes in ecology, natural history and
evolution. The numerous photographs and line illustrations, and the
large reference section, qualify this book as a field guide and
reference for workers in tropical and temperate research. The
fascinating ecology and natural history of these bees will also
provide absorbing reading for other ecologists and naturalists.
This book was first published in 1989.
