Explore Honey Bee Biology by Brian R. Johnson.
Honey bees are remarkably captivating creatures with a rich history of interaction with humans. They play a crucial role in agriculture and have become an important model for exploring fundamental biological questions. This comprehensive and authoritative book offers an updated and insightful overview of honey bee biology, combining established knowledge with emerging research.
This book explores a broad spectrum of topics, including molecular genetics, development, physiology, neurobiology, behavior, and pollination. The book places particular emphasis on the essential role bees play as pollinators within agricultural ecosystems, and it addresses current challenges such as the impact of pesticides, parasites, and pathogens. It also provides a critical examination of potential factors behind colony collapse disorder and the alarming decline in honey bee populations.
As interest in honey bees continues to grow, so too has the scope of research into their biology. Honey Bee Biology is the first comprehensive reference in decades to present an up-to-date synthesis of this expanding field. It is an indispensable resource for researchers in social insect biology, informed beekeepers, and scientists seeking to understand bees as a model system.
