About this product

Product Information

Bees are often thought of as yellow and black striped insects that live in hives and produce honey. However, Australia's abundant native bees are incredibly diverse in their appearance and habits. Some are yellow and black but others have blue stripes, are iridescent green or wasp-like. Some are social but most are solitary. Some do build nests with wax but others use silk or plant material, burrow in soil or use holes in wood and even gumnuts! A Guide to Native Bees of Australia provides a detailed introduction to the estimated 2000 species of Australian bees. Illustrated with stunning photographs, it describes the form and function of bees, their life-cycle stages, nest architecture, sociality and relationships with plants. It also contains systematic accounts of the five families and 58 genera of Australian bees. Photomicrographs of morphological characters and identification keys allow identification of bees to genus level. Natural history enthusiasts, professional and amateur entomologists and beekeepers will find this an essential guide. Recipient, 2019 Whitley Awards Certificate of Commendation: Guide

Not for the entomologically uninitiated.
It's certainly a comprehensive guide to the native bees of Australia, however, I cannot recommend it to a general audience. Having delved into the text on the hunt for an unknown bee - or bee fly? - spotted in my garden, I quickly came to the conclusion that this book is aimed solely at people with an existing expertise in entomology, and sadly, not at folk who have an interest in native bees, but don't have the benefit of a strong scientific background. I would have liked to see an identification chart with all the native bees of Australia described within this text - perhaps grouped by State, or even by region, and with clear coloured illustrations of each bee - or bee fly - listing their common name as well as their scientific name. To have a chart like this included within the book would have given me a solid starting point in identifying my unknown bee.Read full review

The book has great information, but is more a scientific book rather than a beginners guide to keep ing native bees.

So much detail. The hard part is getting a good look at a bee and taking in that detail to apply the books information. A work in progress
