Förlagets beskrivning
The diversity of lifestyles, behaviors, and life cycles that bees possess
is astounding, and Bees of the World is a well-rounded reference to these
fascinating creatures. Presenting comprehensive coverage of bee species from
around the world in an engaging format, this volume will delight readers and
inform them about all aspects of the life of bees. The book first answers the
question: What are bees? It then goes on to discuss the different families and
distribution of bees. The expert authors also describe solitary bees - miners,
masons, leaf-cutters, and carpenters - as well as social bees. Readers gain
insight into the intricacies of bees' lives through the authoritative text,
with special coverage of bees and their special relationship with flowers. The
history of association between humans and bees, especially the honey bee Apis
mellifera, is also addressed. Bees of the World is fully illustrated with
detailed line illustrations and stunning color photographs, making it an ideal
reference source for professional naturalists and amateurs alike. All aspects of bees, including their diversity, behaviour and life cycles,
are covered in this detailed work. Solitary as well as highly social bees are
described, and also the long, close association with humans, especially the
honey bee.
