bookshelves: social-reflections

bookshelves: ecology-and-evolution, neuroscience-and-behavior
4.5 rounded up to 5.

An intensive dive into the behavior, anatomy and ecology of bees. The author does a good job of explaining why understanding these aspects will help us to see bees and insects in new light: conscious, adaptive, intelligent organisms - like us - rather than mindless hardwired machines depicted often in mass media. ]]>
