Plants and Honey Bees

This book is about the European honey, or hive bee, Apis mellifera and the flowers and plants it utilises in the British Isles. It is principally intended as anintroduction for beekeepers to provide an insight into the relationships between bees and flowers. It is hoped, however, that gardeners, naturalists, entomologists,biologists, agriculturalists, horticulturalists and those interested in conservation will all find something of relevance to their interests.
