The Lives of Bees is Thomas Seeley’s captivating story of what scientists are learning about the behavior, social life, and survival strategies of honey bees living outside the beekeeper’s hive―and how wild honey bees may hold the key to reversing the alarming die-off of the planet’s managed honey bee populations. Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, sheds light on why wild honey bees are still thriving while those living in managed colonies are in crisis. Drawing on the latest science as well as insights from his own pioneering fieldwork, he describes in extraordinary detail how honey bees live in nature and shows how this differs significantly from their lives under the management of beekeepers. Seeley presents an entirely new approach to beekeeping―Darwinian Beekeeping―which enables honey bees to use the toolkit of survival skills their species has acquired over the past thirty million years, and to evolve solutions to the new challenges they face today. He shows beekeepers how to use the principles of natural selection to guide their practices, and he offers a new vision of how beekeeping can better align with the natural habits of honey bees. Engagingly written and deeply personal, The Lives of Bees reveals how we can become better custodians of honey bees and make use of their resources in ways that enrich their lives as well as our own. Review: Bello ma sporco - Molto bello, ma pieno di ditate unte sulla copertina, che non si riuscivano a togliere senza rovinare il libro (il libro era da regalare). Review: Two stains on cover, like seriously a coffee cup stain. - Book arrived with coffee cup ring stain on the cover plus a second black scuff mark 2" by 2". Will be returned, waste of time. Book is fantastic and anyone keeping bees should read it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #658,903 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,392 in Biology Books #26,784 in Analysis & Strategy #26,891 in Crafts, Hobbies & Home | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 477 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lives of Bees: The Untold Story of the Honey Bee in the Wild - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kLflp3NVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bello ma sporco *by S***A on 25 December 2021* Molto bello, ma pieno di ditate unte sulla copertina, che non si riuscivano a togliere senza rovinare il libro (il libro era da regalare). ### ⭐ Two stains on cover, like seriously a coffee cup stain. *by M***Y on 20 April 2023* Book arrived with coffee cup ring stain on the cover plus a second black scuff mark 2" by 2".
