Description
Anyone making first acquaintance with bees finds himself in a world of amazing interest. This strange-one might say fantastic-world is magnificent in its organization and infinite in its variations, simple in its natural perfection and yet unbounded in its complexity.
Books on this wonderful world invariably shed light only on
what distinguishes and differentiates bees from the rest of living nature. But if we examine bees from another standpoint, bringing out those traits which they share with the rest of the living world, if we investigate more closely those sides of bee life by which they resemble other animals and plants, the peculiarities of these truly unique creatures strike us still more forcibly.
Scientists are patiently pursuiug their course towards mastering the secrets of Nature and subjugating her. Their dicoveries flare the path of researchers into "bee-land". It becomes increasingly clear to anyone following scientists' progress, of what. substantial importance arc the phenomena of bee life they have discovered, and at the same time how much richer in contents than the wonders of bee life is the clear force of materialistic logic which embraces in
planned experiment the minutest phenomena, forcing Nature to betray her innermost secrets for the service of man.
Today: bee-science is no longer what it used to be. The strict methods of biological analysis on which research has been based have armed experimenters with new facts. Precision technique in experiments and laboratory equipment has allowed deeper penetration into the substance of phenomena and processes. Thanks to this. new knowledge is being accumulated at a rate hitherto unknown. The last discoveries of bee-science are a clear illustration of how the materialistic teaching of Pavlov, merging with Michurin's teachings in the broad unity of Soviet agrobiology, are enriching theory and showing the way to the transformation of living nature for the benefit of socialist society.
Work on this book was started before the war at an experimental apiary in Zvenigorod, where research in connection with the training of bees was carried out under the direction of Professor A. F. Gubin. But not until 1949 was the book completed at the apiary of the experimental husbandry under the Lenin Academy of Agricullural
Science in Gorki Leninskiye.
The illustrations in this edition are original drawings made
by A. Sementsov-Ogiyevsky or drawings by other artists copied by him from various special publications dealing with the biology of
bees. The bees represented in the drawings are mangnified as
compared with the flowers.
