Attraverso foto spettacolari e un testo di facile comprensione Il ronzio delle api racconta la storia di questo insetto partendo da una prospettiva diversa.

Jurgen Tautz, attraverso le scoperte piu recenti, molto delle quali frutto del suo gruppo di lavoro, ci offre la possibilita di venire a contatto con lo straordinario mondo delle api.

L intera gamma delle sorprendenti attivita che le api sono in grado di svolgere trova in questo testo una affascinante rappresentazione.

Pregevoli fotografie, mai viste prima, ritraggono le api impegnate nei compiti piu diversi: pulizia delle cellette, cura della prole, accudimento della regina, visite ai fiori, raccolta del nettare, produzione del miele, costruzione dei favi, protezione dell alveare, termoregolazione, ecc.

Il libro contiene anche immagini di api che si accoppiano, sciamano, combattono, dormono e soprattutto comunicano mediante suoni, profumi e danze.

Tis book, already translated into ten languages, may at frst sight appear to be just about honeybees and their biology. It c- tains, however, a number of deeper messages related to some of the most basic and important principles of modern biology. Te bees are merely the actors that take us into the realm of phys- ology, genetics, reproduction, biophysics and learning, and that introduce us to the principles of natural selection underlying the evolution of simple to complex life forms. Te book destroys the cute notion of bees as anthropomorphic icons of busy self-sacr -i fcing individuals and presents us with the reality of the colony as an integrated and independent being—a “superorganism”—with its own, almost eerie, emergent group intelligence. We are s- prised to learn that no single bee, from queen through drone to sterile worker, has the oversight or control over the colony. - stead, through a network of integrated control systems and fee- backs, and communication between individuals, the colony - rives at consensus decisions from the bottom up through a type of “swarm intelligence”. Indeed, there are remarkable parallels between the functional organization of a swarming honeybee colony and vertebrate brains.

Der Faszination, die von dem "PhAnomen Honigbiene" ausgeht, kann man sich kaum entziehen. Und die Honigbienen enthA1/4llen uns ihre Geheimnisse so dosiert, dass man sA1/4chtig nach ihnen werden kann. Alte AnsAtze, frische Blickwinkel und neue Untersuchungsmethoden lassen das Bild eines Superorganismus entstehen, der zu den erstaunlichsten GeschApfen der Erde zAhlt. Die hochorganisierte Staatenbildung der Bienen und ihre A1/4berragende Bedeutung fA1/4r die BiodiversitAt vieler Biotope wie auch fA1/4r die ErtrAge der Landwirtschaft machen sie zu einem bedeutenden Gegenstand des Interesses von Experten wie Nichtfachleuten. Was sind die Erfolgsgeheimnisse dieses Superorganismus? Was macht seine einsame Sonderstellung aus? Im letzten Jahrzehnt sind - insbesondere in der Arbeitsgruppe um Professor JA1/4rgen Tautz - viele Daten und Erkenntnisse zusammengetragen worden, die ein in vielen Aspekten gAnzlich neues Bild der Honigbiene entstehen lassen. Der ansprechend gestaltete Text-Bild-Band wird erstmals diese "Neue Biene" in verstAndlicher und unterhaltsamer Weise einem breiten Publikum vorstellen. Die Texte und die beeindruckenden Fotografien von Helga R. Heilmann fA1/4hren dem Leser und Betrachter die A"sthetik, die KomplexitAt und die atemberaubenden Errungenschaften des "PhAnomens Honigbiene" im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes vor Augen. So finden hier auch die berA1/4hmten Werke von Karl von Frisch ein kongeniales Update.
