I expect to return to this book to learn more about the truly incredible world of bees for a long time to come. ---Stephen Fleming, Bee Craft This is a brilliant, important and useful new text. * Bees for Development * This book . . . is an extremely thorough reference work that should amply imform the serious researcher about a specific topic being explored.
