The Behaviour and Social Life of Honeybees

Description:

This reprint is interesting both as a reference book for beekeepers who wish to better understand what is going on in their hives and also for researchers wishing to explore the roots of their own studies. In 1953 the then Bee Research Association published this classic book by C Ronald Ribbands of Rothamsted Experimental Station, UK. The book was highly acclaimed for the clarity of its explanations of bee biology, but despite a US edition in 1964, strangely the book has never been reprinted - until now. This new facsimile edition features a short biographical introduction, and a foreword by Prof. Tom Seeley of Cornell University, USA, in which he explains why the book is so important to him and remains relevant despite the passing of the years.
