Completly new insights into the mysterious life of wild honeybees
The bee is the new symbol of nature conservation, and
people all over the world are studying its fate and the threat posed by mites, large-area agriculture and dwindling biodiversity. The honeybee is considered an endangered species, though the significance of its role as a pollinator can hardly be emphasised enough. In contrast, the honeybee’s close relative, the far more robust and adaptable wild bee, is little known. Prof. Dr. Tatz, the German authority on bees, is conducting major research into wild honeybees, while Ingo Arndt has captured sensational and unique photos documenting their life. This is a book full of exciting new insights which could revolutionise conventional apiculture and provide the impetus for a move towards healthier, ecologically sound and appropriate beekeeping.

Reviews
"Jürgen Tautz tells us in a very unpretentious way everything he knows about wild honeybees. You don't have to be scientifically educated, you don't need a degree in biology to enjoy following him through the book. In this way he also manages to make you become a bee lover while reading.
The photos by Ingo Arndt are fascinating." - Denis Scheck, WDR2
