A lavishly illustrated exploration of the mysterious,
hidden world of forest-dwelling wild honey bees-with new insights
that promise to revolutionize conservation and beekeeping
The honey bee, a key pollinator, is now an endangered species,
threatened by human activity and loss of biodiversity. Because of
this, understanding forest-dwelling wild honey bees-which are more
resistant to diseases and parasites than honey bees kept by
beekeepers-is more important than ever before. In this lavishly
illustrated book, Ingo Arndt, one of the world's best wildlife
photographers, and Jürgen Tautz, one of the world's leading bee
experts, set out on the trail of wild honey bees, bringing back
sensational photographs, some of which document behaviors never
captured before, and new scientific insights that promise to
revolutionize conservation and beekeeping. A remarkable number of
wild honey bee colonies still exist, living in hollow trees inside
the forest, largely unnoticed by humans. This book explores the
fascinating secret world of wild honey bees, including the
adaptations and behaviors they have acquired to survive and the new
challenges they face today. Featuring incredible macro and
wide-angle photographs, some taken from inside hives, Wild
Honey Bees is a unique collaboration that documents a
major research project and offers critical new insights about these
essential creatures.
