The dancing bees: An account of the life and senses… Tekijä: Karl von Frisch
Excellent book. Many experiments proving or disproving our understanding of how a bee smells, sees, orients, grows, works, etc. good black and white photos. Very informative.
Este es un libro realmente apasionante sobre seres minúsculos a los que apenas prestamos atención excepto cuando nos pican, corretean por los suelos de nuestra casa o se comen nuestra comida. El Premio Nobel Karl von Frisch nos descubre aspectos desconocidos de estos animalillos sobre los que en realidad apenas sabemos nada pero que tienen vidas realmente interesantes, una gran capacidad para adaptarse al medio, para sobrevivir en condiciones extremas y también para incordiarnos, por lo que el autor nos descubre también los medios más idóneos para desembarazarse de ellos. Un apasionante ensayo sobre unos personajes que no gozan de muy buena fama en el mundo animal, repleto de historias sorprendentes, de curiosidades y aspectos desconocidos de unos bichos con los que no tenemos otro remedio que convivir.… (lisätietoja)
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.
