The Mind of a Bee
A rich and surprising exploration of the intelligence of bees Most of us are aware of the hive mind—the power of bees as an amazing collective. But do we know how uniquely intelligent bees are as individuals? In The Mind of a Bee, Lars Chittka draws from decades of research, including his own pioneering work, to argue that bees have remarkable cognitive abilities. He shows that they are profoundly smart, have distinct personalities, can recognize flowers and human faces, exhibit basic emotions, count, use simple tools, solve problems, and learn by observing others. They may even possess consciousness. Taking readers deep into the sensory world of bees, Chittka illustrates how bee brains ar...
Beescape for Meliponines
A practical guide for Stingless Bee Keepers and culturists with detailed description of common Stingless Bees in Malaysia and other regions globally. Complete list of names of Meliponine Genera and species in the Indo-Malayan clade. Lists flowers visited by Meliponines worldwide and Bee plants suitable for Apiaries and Meliponaries. This book provides helpful hints for Landscape planners to accommodate bees in everyday landscaping. Also serves as a guide for bee conservationists and advocates of sustainable future for Bees in general.
Cognitive Ecology of Pollination
Important breakthroughs have recently been made in our understanding of the cognitive and sensory abilities of pollinators: how pollinators perceive, memorise and react to floral signals and rewards; how they work flowers, move among inflorescences and transport pollen. These new findings have obvious implications for the evolution of floral display and diversity, but most existing publications are scattered across a wide range of journals in very different research traditions. This book brings together for the first time outstanding scholars from many different fields of pollination biology, integrating the work of neuroethologists and evolutionary ecologists to present a multi-disciplinary approach. Aimed at graduates and researchers of behavioural and pollination ecology, plant evolutionary biology and neuroethology, it will also be a useful source of information for anyone interested in a modern view of cognitive and sensory ecology, pollination and floral evolution.
Why Do Bees Buzz?
Why Do Bees Buzz? 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.
Im Cockpit der Biene
Wie Intelligenz bei einem Tier nachweisen, das nur wenige Wochen lebt? Lars Chittka erzählt uns unterhaltsam von den Wundern natürlicher Intelligenz selbst bei winzigen Tieren. Bienen entwickeln im Schwarm faszinierende Fähigkeiten, sind aber auch als Individuen verblüffend intelligent. Neue bahnbrechende Forschungen zeigen, dass sie denken und fühlen, dass sie Persönlichkeit, wenn nicht gar Bewusstsein besitzen. Bienen zählen, erkennen menschliche Gesichter und nutzen Werkzeuge, sie lösen Probleme durch Nachdenken und reagieren individuell auf äußere Reize. Und das alles mit völlig anderen Sinnesorganen: Dank ihres kompakten Nervensystems navigieren sie präzise und speichern Informationen, ihre Antennen sind multifunktional wie Schweizer Messer. Das neue Standardwerk über die Biene
