This book is about the inner workings of one of nature's most complex animal societies: the honey bee colony. It describes and illustrates the results of more than fifteen years of elegant experimental studies conducted by the author. In his investigations, Thomas Seeley has sought the answer to the question of how a colony of bees is organized to gather its resources. The results of his research--including studies of the shaking signal, tremble dance, and waggle dance, and other, more subtle means by which information is exchanged among bees--offer the clearest, most detailed picture available of how a highly integrated animal society works. By showing how several thousand bees function together as an integrated whole to collect the nectar, pollen, and water that sustain the life of the hive, Seeley sheds light on one of the central puzzles of biology: how units at one level of organization can work together to form a higher-level entity.In explaining why a hive is organized the way it is, Seeley draws on the literature of molecular biology, cell biology, animal and human sociology, economics, and operations research. He compares the honey bee colony to other functionally organized groups: multicellular organisms, colonies of marine invertebrates, and human societies. All highly cooperative groups share basic problems: of allocating their members among tasks so that more urgent needs are met before less urgent ones, and of coordinating individual actions into a coherent whole. By comparing such systems in different species, Seeley argues, we can deepen our understanding of the mechanisms that make close cooperation a reality.

Dit boek is ontstaan uit een paradox. Discriminerend gedrag en schending van fundamentele rechten kenmerken vaak de verhoudingen tussen sociale, etnische, nationale of culturele groepen. Volgens velen zouden die zelfs inherent zijn aan verhoudingen tussen groepen. En toch spreken hedendaagse maatschappijen zich uit voor het respecteren van rechtsnormen die zo·n gedrag verbieden. Het sociaalpsychologisch onderzoek van de auteur, aangevat in Parijs en daarna met talrijke medewerkers voortgezet aan de Universiteit van Genève, gaat over die paradox. Hij beschrijft voor de eerste keer hoe de problematische communautaire verhoudingen in zijn land van herkomst aan de oorsprong liggen van zijn onderzoek in de sociale psychologie. Hij houdt een pleidooi voor een constructivistische benadering in de sociale wetenschappen en brengt verslag uit van zijn onderzoeksresultaten. Hij beperkt zich niet tot het bestuderen van louter feitelijke toestanden. Hij analyseert vooral de houdingen tegenover de rechtsnormen in de universele-rechtenverklaringen, waarmee de opbouw van een betere en meer rechtvaardige wereld nagestreefd wordt. (bron: covertekst)
