The speech of bees

Throughout the history of bee research, scientists have looked deeply into the functioning of bee colonies and gained a great deal of knowledge about them. It has become clear that bees are social insects that communicate with each other even outside the hive. The most respected German beekeeping researcher, Jürgen Tautz, approaches the issue of bee language in a comprehensive way, but manages to speak to both laypeople and professionals. In this book, he not only offers a new insight into the fascinating communication through bee dance, but also explores other exciting phenomena in the exchange of information between bees.
