One of the starting facts Thomas Seeley, the Horace white professor of Biology at Cornell University, cities in his comprehensive and essential, The Lives Of Bees is that "the honey bee provides nearly half of all crop pollination services world wide. The importance of the honey bee to the Earth and humans is undeniable and many volumes have been written about the subject. The differentiating factor of this book is that unlike previous works, The Lives Of Bees focuses primarily on how colonies of honey bees live in the wild. The book both celebrates and Chronicles the natural history of the honey bee, using his own experimental research and drawing on numerous studies, Seeley provides an in depth scientific look at honey bee colony nests, food collection, temperature control and more. Seeley identifies and explores twenty one distinct differences between the living conditions of each. As the book compares and contrasts honey bee colonies in the wild with those controller by humans, it becomes clear that honey bees lives can be enriched or endangered by human beings. Seeley urges bee keepers in particular to focus " less on treating a honey bee colony as a honey factory or a pollination unit and more on admiring it as an amazing form of life. |

Hey there Abdul!
I hope you are well! Yes, I like how the author does point out that humans should not source out bees as a provider of honey, but appreciate their existence. This book sounds very interesting and informative.
Thank you for this wonderful read Abdul!

If there were no pollinator like bees we wouldn't have 80 % of our fruit and vegetables! Thank you for the report

Hello Abdul Qoyyum Oriola
The book you introduce seems to provide a lot of information on various honey bee and their history. Despite of importance of honey bees for preserving biodiverisity and for our survival, the number of bees in the world has been decreasing. I strognly agree with you on that human should not treat honey bee colony as a honey factory but more on admiring it as an amazing form of life. Thank you for sharing this report with us!
