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.
