Wicwas Press is authorized to sell this
book for Dr. Stell in the United States
and Canada
This book aims to
do two things.
Firstly, to
explain the structure of this
fascinating insect and secondly, through
stunning images, to reveal the
insect’s intricate detail.
Dr Stell has
applied his knowledge of the human body
in describing the honeybee, system by
system.
The book
starts with a chapter on the
developmental stages, showing the
internal changes taking place from the
egg to the larva, and then the pupa.
It includes
chapters on all body parts, wings and
flight structures, the circulatory,
respiratory and digestive systems and
finishes with chapters on the queen and
the drone.
The anatomy
is explained in clear colour diagrams
and illustrated with over six hundred
high-quality photographs. These include
electron micrographs, close-up images,
high-power stained sections (histology)
and other techniques.
This concise but
readable book is perfect for the British
exams in bee biology and training for
master beekeeper programs in the United
States. It is also a valuable resource
for any beekeeper wanting to understand
his insects better, or any student or
scientist working in this area.
Dr. Ian Stell, has been a beekeeper in
an urban area, in South-East London
since 1998, keeping about fifteen
colonies. His day job is as a doctor in
Emergency Medicine. Keeping bees has
involved facing many disease challenges,
much as Emergency Medicine does. This
has led Ian into an interest in the
microscopic examination of bees, and he has
applied his knowledge of the human body
in describing the honeybee, system by
system. Ian became a Master Beekeeper in
2010, and was awarded the prestigious
Wax Chandlers award, from one of the
ancient City Livery companies with an
historical link to beekeeping.
