Beschreibung
The authors of the book present new stunning photographs taken at the heart of the hive and in the laboratory, along with text of extraordinary documentary solidity, but also of poetry. We will learn how the superorganism functions in terms of communication, democracy, and decision-making, how it fights against diseases or predators, how bees adapt, choose a queen, what kind of epigenetic changes can occur, as well as the essence of the nuptial flight, the silent call of flowers, the alchemy of nectar, the significance of scents and royal perfume, how the taste of salt ends up on their feet, and other fascinating insights. We will understand the importance of honeycombs for communication and the crucial role of empty cells, recognize the existence of an internal network within the hive, and the incredible cognitive abilities of bees and their memory.
