</span></b>Twenty-five thousand species of bees certainly create a loud
buzz. Yet silence descended a few years ago when domesticated bee
populations plummeted. Bees, in particular honey bees, are critical links
in the vibrant chain that brings fruits, vegetables, and nuts to markets
and dinner tables across the country. Farmers and scientists on the
agricultural frontlines quickly realized the impact of this loss, but many
others did not see this devastation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=style1><em><i><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Why Do Bees Buzz?</span></font></i></em> reports
on the mysterious “colony collapse disorder” that has affected
honey bee populations, as well as other captivating topics, such as their
complex, highly social lives, and how other species of bees are unique and
different from honey bees. Organized in chapters that cover everything from
these provocative pollinators’ basic biology to the aggressive nature
of killer bees, this insightful question and answer guide provides a
honeycomb of compelling facts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=style1><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>With clarity and depth, bee biologist Elizabeth Capaldi Evans and
coauthor Carol A. Butler examine the lives of honey bees, as well as other
species such as orchid bees, bumblebees, and stingless bees. Accessible to
readers on every level, and including the latest research and theory for
the more sophisticated reader, the authors reveal more than one hundred
critical answers to questions about the lives of bees.Concepts about
speciation, evolutionary adaptation and pollination, as well as historical
details about topics such as Mayan beekeeping and the appearance of bees in
rock art, are arranged in easy-to-follow sidebars that highlight the text.
