About This Book

A comprehensive natural-history manual surveys the bees native to the British Isles, opening with their ecological roles and a practical division between social and solitary species. It follows insect development from egg through larva, pupa, and imago, outlines geographic distribution, and sketches prominent foreign genera for comparison. Sections cover parasites and predators, principles of scientific classification, and methods for cultivating bees, then present an arrangement of families and genera with identification tables and facile keys. Detailed genus accounts list native species, describe habits and economy, and are supplemented by plates and practical notes for collectors and naturalists.
