The Buzz about Bees: Biology of a Superorganism,   ISBN:9783540787273

Customer Rating: 

I have just read four books about bees (we have two hives now) and this was by far the best. It is not about bee keeping but about bees in general and I learned so much. The photos were fantastic. I first bought it on the kindle which I can not recommend since you can not really see the wonderful photos. So I ordered it again in hard copy.

It was a little more money than I'd normally spend on a book that I was just buying for pleasure. I bought it for my husband. He keeps bees and has read every book he can get his hands on. He knew a lot of the things in the book already, but there were some interesting new things he learned, too. I learned a lot and especially enjoyed all the superorganism stuff.
Beautiful photos and just really fascinating info.

This book is wonderful if you want to know the scientific background of Bees. The photos alone are worth having this book in your library. It is a little intense reading, but it will be worth it in the end.You will not go away with out taking in some new information on Bees

Customer Rating: 

This is a great book. Dr. Tautz is an excellent writer and uses fine examples to demonstrate his points, such as pictoral representations of what bees see. The pictures are some of the finest I have seen of bees, and would probably be worth the purchase just because of them. If you're looking for some deeper information beyond basic beekeeping or basic physiology and behavior, this is an excellent addition to your library. It certainly is to mine.

Clearly written with beautiful photographs to illustrate topics discussed. As a hobby bee keeper, I have found it wonderfully informative and have sent a copy to my daughter who teaches biology at the University level in the UK. I highly recommend for anyone who is interested in bees, nature, and/or our world.
