Eusocial and Semisocial Varieties of Bees Including Bumblebees, Stingless Bees, Honey Bees, and Africanized Bees (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bees may be solitary or may live in various types of communities. The most advanced of these are eusocial colonies found among the honey bees, bumblebees, and stingless bees. Sociality, of several different types, is believed to have evolved separately many times within the bees. In some species, groups of cohabiting females may be sisters, and if there is a division of labor within the group, then they are considered semisocial. This book studies eusocial and semisocial varieties of bees including apidae, flight of the Bumblebees, Melipona, western honey bees, and Italian bees.
