Diversity In The Genus Apis

This book is based on an informal conference, "Diversity in the Genus Apis," which took place in 1989 at the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America. It serves as an introduction to various aspects of honey bee biology and as a guide for future research especially on Asian honey bees.
