and physiology of the honey bee in a clear and concise format.

involved.
The sections are:
+ External bodywork

+ Control systems
+ Breeding
+ Growing up

+ Colony reproduction
+ Inside and outside influences
An appendix gives the background to scientific terminology, a widerangin
glossary Includesphonetic spellings and there are suggestions for
further reading.
This book will inform anybody interested in this fascinating insect.

for those wanting to know more about our honey bees.
