A wonderful book about the best friend of humans among insects. Edward O. Wilson. The queen bee is not an absolute ruler. On the contrary: bees make decisions collectively as a swarm, they explore a situation together and debate vigorously to ultimately reach a consensus. The renowned behavioral researcher Thomas D. Seeley has been meticulously studying the life of bees for decades. In his engagingly written book, he vividly illustrates what we can learn from these amazing insects and that the decision of many can be wiser than that of individuals. A richly illustrated, as fascinating as it is thought-provoking book. Seeley's enthusiasm and admiration for bees are contagious, and his research is masterful. Brilliant. Captivating and enchanting. The most delightful science.
