Description / Diary of a Honey Bee

Across two years, researchers documented thousands of bees using macro-imaging technology to bring us this book, which chronicles the lifecycle of honey bees as they strive to help their colony survive through the changing seasons.

A beehive is often understood as a super-organism. In fact, scientists are learning that a beehive is filled with individuals, each of which occupies a versatile role.  Moreover, bees are incredibly intelligent. They have a symbolic language, plan their daily routines, and not only can they count but they can understand the concept of zero.

Discover all this and more as you follow the life of a single bee from hatching to death.
