Many experiments proving or disproving our understanding of how a bee smells, sees, orients, grows, works, etc. good black and white photos. Very informative. Very interesting read. Unlike most bee books I've read this doesn't tell you anything about how to keep bees. But it does provide a wealth of information about how bees and bee colonies work, and how this information was tested and learnt. The lively use of language makes what would have appeared a dry subject very readable. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Over half a century of brilliant scientific detective work, the Nobel Prize-winning biologist Karl von Frisch learned how the world, looks, smells, and tastes to a bee. More significantly, he discovered their dance language and their ability to use the sun as a compass. Intended to serve as an accessible introduction to one of the most fascinating areas of biology, Bees (first published in 1950 and revised in 1971), reported the startling results of his ingenious and revolutionary experiments with honeybees.In his revisions, von Frisch updated his discussion about the phylogenetic origin of the language of bees and also demonstrated that their color sense is greater than had been thought previously. He also took into consideration the electrophysiological experiments and electromicroscopic observations that have supplied more information on how the bee analyzes polarized light to orient itself and how the olfactory organs on the bee's antennae function.Now back in print after more than two decades, this classic and still-accurate account of the behavior patterns and sensory capacities of the honeybee remains a book "written with a simplicity, directness, and charm which all who know him will recognize as characteristic of its author. Any intelligent reader, without scientific training, can enjoy it."-Yale Review Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
