Synopsis
The next time you hear the low buzzing sound of an approaching bee, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She might be responding to scents on the breeze as her olfactory organs provide a 3D map of an object's location. She might be tracing the route based on her memories of a particular flower or the electrostatic traces left by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees mysterious pathways and experience their complex and alien world.
Although their brains are incredibly small–just one million neurons compared to humans' 100 billion–bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee's way of seeing the world and introduces& the scientists who make the journey possible. What a Bee Knows will challenge your idea of a bee's place in the world–and perhaps our own.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the beehas navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactoryorgans, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructionsrelayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows:Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees mysterious paths and experience theiralien world.Although their brains are incredibly smalljust one million neurons compared to humans 100 billionbees haveremarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist StephenBuchmann explores a bees way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questionsmost of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmannsinsatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious.What a Bee Knows will challenge your idea of a bees place in the worldand perhaps our own. This lively journey into abees mind reminds us that the world is more complex than our senses can tell us. This fascinating approach to bees shows readers an entirely new perspectiveseeing the world through a bees eyes.
