A new perspective on honey bees drawn from a unique
scientific study of tens of thousands of bees, featuring state-of-the-art
macro-imaging technology
This book chronicles, with extraordinary imagery, the
lifecycle of honey bees, as they strive to help their colony survive through
the changing seasons.
A beehive is often understood as a super-organism. In fact,
scientists are learning that a beehive is filled with individuals, which each
have something akin to a personality. Moreover, bees are incredibly
intelligent. They have a symbolic language, plan their daily routines, and not
only can they count but they can understand the concept of zero.
The worker bees respond and adapt to their environment and
have great control over the fate of their collective. They decide where to
forage for food, where to establish a new colony, and whether to raise a new
queen. They even show the queen where to find her mates.
This new perspective led a team of researchers to attempt a
unique challenge: to portray the life of a single bee from hatching to death.
Over two years, they documented tens of thousands of bees, using
state-of-the-art macro-imaging technology. They've brought this remarkable
photography together with rigorous science to reveal the dramatic world of the
honey bee.
