Add to basketHardcover in Dustjacket. Condition: Very Good +. General Fauna & Flora, Entomology, Melittology, Apiology, Apiculture -We think of bees as being among the busiest workers in the garden, admiring them for their productivity. But amid their buzzing, they are also great communicatorsâ"and unusual dancers. As Karl von Frisch (1886â"…1982) discovered during World War II, bees communicate the location of food sources to each other through complex circle and waggle dances. For centuries, beekeepers had observed these curious movements in hives, and others had speculated about the possibility of a bee language used to manage the work of the hive. But it took von Frisch to determine that the beesâ dances communicated precise information about the distance and direction of food sources.His work centered on investigations of the sensory perceptions of the honey bee and he was one of the first to translate the meaning of the waggle dance. His theory was disputed by other scientists and greeted with skepticism at the time. Only recently was it definitively proved to be an accurate theoretical analysis.First published 1927 as "Aus dem Leben der Bienen"pp. xiv, 198 Second Edition #171025 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
