This book of about 600 pages is written to provide practitioners of pollination biology with a broadly based source of methodologies as well as the basic conceptual background to aid in understanding. Thus, the book reflects the expertise of the assembled a team of internationally acclaimed scientists. Pollination biology enjoys over 200 years of scientific tradition. In recent years, the interdisciplinarity of pollination biology has become a model for integrating physics, chemistry, and biology into natural history, evolutionary and applied ecology. Pollination biology has developed its own techniques and approaches while incorporating ideas, methods, and technology from many facets of pure and applied science.

"Bees, Biology and Management." is not just about "How to keep bees" but why bees are kept, what it is about them that makes them amenable to management and domestication: their anatomy, physiology, behaviour, diversity, ecology, and value to agriculture and the natural world. Of course, the main study organisms are European races of the Western honeybee, Apis mellifera, but other bees are far from forgotten. This book contains much basic insect biology (entomology), with bees at the centre. The book has eleven sections, and a total of 51 short chapters. The order of the chapters represents only one way in which bee biology, ecology and behaviour can be integrated and explained as applicable to beekeeping. There are many cross-references so readers can follow their own leads to understanding the complex whole.

Agrogeology is the study of minerals of importance to farming and horticulture, especially with regards to soil fertility and fertilizer components. This book provides background information on the relationships between rocks, soils and plants.
