Piping Hot Bees and Boisterous Buzz-Runners

Thomas Seeley weaves illuminating personal stories with the latest science to explain mysteries like how worker bees scout for home sites, build beeswax combs, stock brood and food, and keep the colony warm and defended.

Richly illustrated, the book reveals the excitement of deciphering bee pipings, shakings, and tremble dances, showing how these discoveries shape our understanding of these intelligent insects.

Written for the general public and beekeepers, it details low-tech experiments and observations spanning fifty years.
