Book Review: "The Lives Of Bees"
Bees have existed in the wild for 100 million years, while we humans have only been around for a scant ten thousand. For as long as we've existed *as humans*, we've co-existed with bees.
Yet despite this, there is a big difference between how bees live in wild colonies, versus how humans treat them in man-made hives.
In "The Lives Of Bees", Dr. Thomas Seely outlines decades of research, experiments, and bee hunting to show how bees live when left on their own, and what we can learn from that to keep better hives ourselves.
A fascinating look at the hive as an organism. I learned a lot. It was gripping. Highly recommended.
