Bee time : lessons from the hive  Cover Image Book Book

Bee time : lessons from the hive / Mark L. Winston.

Winston, Mark L. (Author).

Summary:

Bee Time presents Winston's reflections on three decades spent studying these creatures, and on the lessons they can teach about how humans might better interact with one another and the natural world. Like us, honeybees represent a pinnacle of animal sociality. How they submerge individual needs into the colony collective provides a lens through which to ponder human societies.
