Book Synopsis Bumblebee Economics by : Bernd Heinrich
Book excerpt: The bumblebee spends its days gathering the resources needed by the hive -- honey for energy and pollen for protein. The author examines the intricate processes that make up this behavior, including discussions of thermoregulation and its behavioral application, and the way bumblebees choose flowers to harvest.
