Description:
How can 40,000 bees working in the dark, by instinct alone, construct a honey comb? Synthesizing decades of experiments, this book presents the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the division of labour in honey bee colonies and explains how it is an inevitable product of group living, evolving over millions of years.
