Book
The mind of a bee / Lars Chittka.
"It is commonly accepted that bees display a rich repertoire of coordinated social behaviors, but can we call them intelligent? In this book Lars Chittka-- perhaps the world authority on bee cognition -- argues that bees indeed possess remarkable cognitive ability. Drawing on decades of experimental research, much of it his own, Chittka explains how bees display basic emotion-like states, numerosity, and even individual differences in behavior and personality"-- Provided by publisher.
