Books, Manuscripts
Humans have kept honey bees in hives for millennia, yet only in recent decades have biologists begun to investigate how these industrious insects live in the wild. 'The Lives of Bees' is Thomas Seeley's captivating story of what scientists are learning about the behavior, social life and survival strategies of honey bees living outside the beekeeper's hive - and how wild honey bees may hold the key to reversing the alarming die-off of the planet's managed honey bee populations.
