First published in 1956, this classic work on the anatomy of honey bee by R. (Robert) E. Snodgrass is acclaimed as much for the author's remarkably detailed line drawings of the various body parts and organs of his subject as for his authoritative knowledge of entomology and the engaging prose style with which he conveys it. Anatomy of the Honey Bee should be in the library of every student of the honey bee and bee behaviour – beekeepers (both amateur and professional) as well as scientists.
"As a world authority on insect anatomy, Snodgrass has given us in this book a brilliant account of the anatomy of the honey bee and how it relates to the way that bees develop and how and why they function as they do in their interesting communal life. This book should be in the library of every student of the honey bee and bee behavior – beekeepers as well as scientists. The book is delightfully written and is enjoyable reading."
