Collison has collected much relevant biology in one place, updating our knowledge of what makes bees so interesting and distinctive organisms. Suitable for master beekeeper programs, college-level courses and general knowledge beekeeping.
Collison has reviewed the vast body of research in the biology, physiology, biochemistry and behavior of honey bees and presented it in a concise and objective manner.
