Bee Time Lessons from the Hive by Mark L. Winston is a very interesting read because I never knew what an important species the bee is. The book talked about the history of the bees and how they are the descendants of the wasp. And also, how bees have evolved to various intricate ecological systems. Across the globe there are currently 352,000 described species of bees currently know across the world. However, the only continent that does not inhabit the species is Antarctica. Today’s understanding of the honeybee has considerably increased from the work of Aristotle and Huber. We know that colonies generally have only one queen that influence the colony but does not command the activity. Worker bees are the ones that make the decisions based on the localized of the colony and the information that is brought back by the foragers. Winston talked about his work with bees in particular the importance of the Honeybee. Bee Time is such an engaging and informative read due to the fact that the author communicates his points well: their viability to the ecosystem, the structures and interactions amongst the bees and how they affect human society.Winston gives an informative description on the life history of the Honeybees four life stages, which consist of eggs, larvae, pupae and adult. The Queen of the hive has an important role of producing eggs, which may produce future queens. However, if an egg is not fertilized the adult bee becomes a worker bee. Some worker bees become drone, which sometimes expand their ovaries to produce a queen if the queen of their hive dies. Bee time also expresses the achievements made by scientists in understanding the dynamic of the bee.
