Description
Theoretically, our bees should thrive beautifully in hives. However, it is strange that this is not the case. Bees often do not fare well, and beekeepers are not satisfied either. This book, however, proves that we can still find strong and healthy bee colonies in our forests, even coexisting with many creatures that beekeepers consider parasites. Unnoticed by humans, bees live where their natural home once was. They thrive in tree hollows for many years, adapted to their natural living conditions. But how do they actually live in the forest, and why do they suffer from fewer diseases than bees in hives? Acclaimed nature photographer Ingo Arndt and renowned expert on bee behavior and life, Professor Jürgen Tautz, describe for the first time in this extensive work the mysterious life of wild honeybees. Through unique, never-before-published images that the authors compellingly interpret, they reveal many unknown behaviors of bees. Based on years of observation in the forest, they also present new insights on how to approach beekeeping today.
