Bees of the world / Christopher O'Toole & Anthony Raw. New York : Facts on File, 1991. 192 p. : ill. (some col.), hb ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 187-188) and index. The industry of bees is generally known and indeed proverbial, yet until the publication of this book there has been no popular book which reflects adequately the astounding variety of species, lifestyle and life history of these fascinating creatures. Although there has been a great deal of exciting research, most of the results are widely scattered in scientific journals and are unavailable to the general reader. This detailed but highly readable book covers all aspects of bees, including their diversity, behavior and life cycles. It describes the solitary bees as well as the highly social ones, the flower-bee relationship, the special role of male bees and the significance of associated insect species. 20140731. Bees.
