Apis through the looking glass

Royle, Graham. 2010. Paperback. pp.44. ISBN: 978-0-905652-80-1

This publication provides a close-up look at the internal and external structures of the honeybee. It's content is based upon a lecture 'Honeybee Anatomy' which was presented to the Spring Convention of the British Beekeepers Association in 2009. With clear colour photographs throughout it illustrates that dissection is not a difficult skill to acquire, but it does require patience and a steady hand. The techniques are fully described in H A Dade, 'Anatomy and dissection of the honeybee' (also available from the IBRA shop).

As recommended in the BEE WORLD Book Review June 2011.
