An Invitation to Read an Exclusive Excerpt from
'Honeybee Democracy'By Tom Seeley I wrote 'Honeybee Democracy' to share with biologists and beekeepers what has been learned by Martin Lindauer in Germany in the 1950s, and by myself and others in America since the 1970s, about how the workers in a honeybee swarm conduct a democratic decision-making process to choose their new home. I also want to share with readers the pleasures that I have experienced in investigating swarms of honeybees. I can thank these beautiful little creatures for many hours of the purest joy of discovery, interspersed among (to be sure) days and weeks of fruitless and sometimes discouraging work. To give a sense of the excitement and challenge of studying the bees, I have included in the book various personal events, speculations, and thoughts about conducting scientific studies. I do hope you'll enjoy the following sample from chapter 3 of the book. |
