A Closer Look

Résumé du livre

"Clarence Collison's newest compilation of his monthly BEE CULTURE columns, A CLOSER LOOK at HONEY BEE BIOLOGY, is a MUST HAVE for the serious student of honey bee physiology and biology. Organized into 17 sections (Honey Bee Castes to Impact of Pesticides) with 43 pages of references (Abbott to Zmarlicki, most since 2000) it has collected much relevant biology in one place. Written in the information, documented style of the columns, it covers and updates our working knowledge of what makes bees so interesting and distinctive organisms. Master Beekeeper program candidates, students of college-level courses and beekeepers wishing to deepen their knowledge and understanding of how bees process information, react to their environment and its challenges and how they function as part of a larger social unit will find this compendium of immense value and informative. Even a casual appreciation will deepen one's appreciation for the complexity of honey bees and will provide an appreciation of how much we know about our little furry friend."-Dewey M. Caron, from back of book
