Book Description:
|
The detailed illustrations and photographs in this fascinating book take us into the complicated, hectic world of the beehive, where we observe the rigidly structured "class system" of the honeybee, with its worker bees, drones, and queen. The complex body and internal systems of the bee are examined, as the history, honey production, construction of the honeycomb, reproduction, and colony building are discussed.
