Honey Bee Biology covers molecular genetics, development, and physiology to neurobiology, behavior, and pollination biology. Placing special attention on the important role of bees as pollinators, they are vital to agricultural ecosystems and serve as a model system for many basic questions in biology. This authoritative ebook provides an essential overview of honey bee, bringing established topics up to date while incorporating emerging areas of inquiry.it incorporates the latest findings on pesticides, parasites, and pathogens. This incisive and wide-ranging ebook also sheds light on the possible causes of colony collapse disorder and the devastating honey bee losses we are witnessing today. This resource is the first up-to-date general reference of its kind published in decades. It is a must-have book for social insect biologists, scientifically savy beekeepers, and any scientist interested in bees as a model system. 512 p.

A tour de force. Honey Bee Biology will be the go-to textbook for college courses and serves as a readable reference for beekeepers who want to learn more about the ‘under the hood’ mechanics of honey bee function, from genomics and neurobiology to foraging and pesticide detoxification. Johnson is to be applauded for assembling and updating centuries’ worth of honey bee science and presenting it as a work of art.
