Our Newest Book, On Honey Bee Genetics
In this information-dense book Rob Page describes how the social interactions of bees, their haplodiploid genetics and physiology affect the traits (mostly behavioral) that beekeepers and bee enthusiasts are interested in. This is probably the best reference for learning about bee breeding theory and practice and the history of honey bee genetics from the time of Gregor Mendel to the sequencing of the bee genome. It shows what has clearly worked in bee breeding, what has not worked, as well as what has been difficult to evaluate.
…a very organized approach to explaining the science and facts about bees … Just enough science that we can understand the facts. I am thoroughly enjoying your writings as well as the infographics.
This is an outstanding work, very complete and very well illustrated. I am teaching a few autistic young men beekeeping and this book will be a great help.
