{"product_id":"what-a-bee-knows","title":"What a Bee Knows","description":"For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee\u003cbr\u003ehas navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory\u003cbr\u003eorgans, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions\u003cbr\u003erelayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows:\u003cbr\u003eExploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees’ mysterious paths and experience their\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ealien world.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough their brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans’ 100 billion—bees have\u003cbr\u003eremarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBuchmann explores a bee’s way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions\u003cbr\u003emost of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann’s\u003cbr\u003einsatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat a Bee Knows will challenge your idea of a bee’s place in the world—and perhaps our own. This lively journey into abee’s mind reminds us that the world is more complex than our senses can tell us.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227689570648,"sku":"9781642833911","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781642833911.jpg?v=1781066716","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/what-a-bee-knows","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
