        Honeybees

        Mysterious Forest Dwellers

        by Ingo Arndt, Jürgen Tautz

        Completly new insights into the mysterious life of wild honeybees The bee is the new symbol of nature conservation, and people all over the world are studying its fate and the threat posed by mites, large-area agriculture and dwindling biodiversity. The honeybee is considered an endangered species, though the significance of its role as a pollinator can hardly be emphasised enough. In contrast, the honeybee’s close relative, the far more robust and adaptable wild bee, is little known. Prof. Dr. Tatz, the German authority on bees, is conducting major research into wild honeybees, while Ingo Arndt has captured sensational and unique photos documenting their life. This is a book full of exciting new insights which could revolutionise conventional apiculture and provide the impetus for a move towards healthier, ecologically sound and appropriate beekeeping.

        Bees and Other Pollinators

        by Wendy Einstein

        Bees and other pollinators help pollinate the plants that give us many of our favourite foods. Bees are North America’s most important pollinators. Honeybees have two stomachs. One is for food, and the other is used to carry nectar back to the hive. Chocolate is made from the cacao plant. Without bats to pollinate the cacao plant, there would be no chocolate!

        Science, Politics, and Honeybee Health

        by Kleinman, Daniel L. and Sainath Suryanarayanan

        In the fall of 2006 it had become clear to farmers, agricultural scientists, and commercial beekeepers that a mysterious and unexplained collapse of previously healthy beehives was going to continue unabated. All over the United States beekeepers were witnessing the collapse of their hives. By the spring of 2006, American beekeeping operations had lost between 30-90% of their hives, significantly higher than the typical winter losses suffered by apiaries due to parasitic mites, diseases, and poor nutrition. Entomologists began calling the disaster Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). In Vanishing Bees: Science, Politics, and Honeybee Health sociologists Daniel Lee Kleinman and Sainath Suryanarayanan portray a resulting crisis in US agriculture

        Natural Journey

        An encounter between Arts and Science

        by Josefina Hepp, Vivian Lavin, María José Arce

        “Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis.  Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce.  A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and  “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom,  nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.
