Oldroyd, Benjamin P.

Asian honey bees :biology, conservation, and human interactions /Benjamin P. Oldroyd, Siriwat Wongsiri. - Cambridge, Mass. :Harvard University Press,2006. - xv, 340 p. :ill., maps ;25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [273]-327) and index.

"Benjamin Oldroyd, well known for his work on the genetics and evolution of worker sterility, has teamed with Siriwat Wongsiri, a pioneer of the study of bees in Thailand, to provide a comparative work synthesizing the rapidly expanding Asian honey bee literature. After introducing the species, the authors review evolution and speciation, division of labor, communication, and nest defense. They underscore the pressures colonies face from pathogens, parasites, and predators - including humans - and detail the long and amazing history of the honey hunt.
