Publisher's Synopsis
The introduction and spread of the African honey bee and its hybrids in the New World has received substantial public and scientific attention. In this book the available scientific information concerning the identification, biology, and management of the bee is reviewed. This book is particularly timely, given the recent arrival of the African bee in the United States. It should be of interest to ethologists, behavioural ecologists, ecologists, entomologists and apicultural researchers, as well as to beekeepers.
