Honey bees, bumblebees, mining bees, dwarf bees, carpenter, leafcutter and mason bees: bees come in many different types, with more than 16,000 species worldwide.

Many bees today are domesticated, and beekeepers collect honey, beeswax, pollen, and royal jelly from hives for human use. A typical bee produces a teaspoon of honey (about 5 grams) in her lifetime. Bees can communicate many ways through the movement of their wings and bodies – most famously, with the ‘waggle dance’, where they make figure-of- eight circles to let other bees know the direction and distance of nectar. \u003cbr\u003eWith full captions explaining how bees live, function communally, communicate, feed and reproduce, \u003ci\u003eBees\u003c\/i\u003e is an insightful examination in 190 outstanding colour photographs of mankind’s favourite insect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41557592211553,"sku":"9781838863579","price":8.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_40319649.jpg?v=1773327404","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781838863579-bees","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
