" Honey Bee Biology provides an engrossing and comprehensive overview of honey bee biology from a scientist who has dedicated his career to uncovering these mysteries. I thoroughly enjoyed this modern update of an amazing and continuing story." --James C. Nieh, University of California, San Diego "A tour de force. Honey Bee Biology will be the go-to textbook for college courses and serves as a readable reference for beekeepers who want to learn more about the 'under the hood' mechanics of honey bee function, from genomics and neurobiology to foraging and pesticide detoxification. Johnson is to be applauded for assembling and updating centuries' worth of honey bee science and presenting it as a work of art." --Marla Spivak, University of Minnesota "A detailed and meticulously researched summary of honey bees, covering aspects of physiology, behavior, evolution, and conservation. Honey Bee Biology is a triumph of integrative biology that is notable for its breadth and readability.

Highly recommended for biologists and serious bee enthusiasts." --Elizabeth Tibbetts, University of Michigan "With bees in the spotlight, Johnson has produced an important and timely book that covers diverse areas of honey bee biology, with incisive synthesis and comprehensive literature reviews." --Gene E. Robinson, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
