Opis

Honey bees have been described as exceptionally clever, well-organized, mutualistic, collaborative, busy, efficient-in short a perfect society. In The Dark Side of the Hive, authors Robin Moritz and Robin Crewe write about the life history of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, focusing on the "dark side of the hive" including cheating, robbery, worker inefficiency, and unfair reproduction strategies.

Recenzje

This book is a refreshing account of some of the more fascinating and occasionally maladaptive aspects of the biology of the honey bee
