Bees is an outstanding collection of photographs showing these
fascinating insects in their natural habitat. Honey bees,
bumblebees, mining bees, dwarf bees, carpenter, leafcutter and
mason bees: bees come in many different types, with more than
16,000 species worldwide. The bees we are most familiar with,
bumblebees and honey bees, live in colonies and play a major role
in pollinating the crops, plants and flowers around us. And bees
produce honey - reputedly the food of the gods - a function of
bees' lifecycle, which humans have exploited for millennia. Many
bees today are domesticated, and beekeepers collect honey, beeswax,
pollen, and royal jelly from hives for human use. A typical bee
produces a teaspoon of honey (about 5 grams) in her lifetime. Bees
can communicate many ways through the movement of their wings and
bodies - most famously, with the 'waggle dance', where they make
figure-of- eight circles to let other bees know the direction and
distance of nectar. With full captions explaining how bees live,
function communally, communicate, feed and reproduce, Bees is an
insightful examination in 190 outstanding colour photographs of
mankind's favourite insect.
