Whereas bee colonies were once seen as perfect societies of selfless workers and drones ruled by a queen, Tautz presents them as a self-organized, complex adaptive system that he considers a mammal in many bodies . This comprehensive introduction to honeybee biology (originally published as Phänomen Honigbiene) explores such topics as how bees obtain and communicate information about flowers, whole-animal gametes , and the comb's contributions to the sociophysiology of the colony. The author has been honored for making research accessible to the public, and his lucid text will reward lay readers, apiarists, students, and professional biologists alike. The book is profusely illustrated with Heilmann's spectacular photos, which capture the full range of bee activities including some, such as the living chains formed where combs are being built or repaired, whose function remains unknown.  (SCIENCE, Vol. 322, 19 December 2008) With spectacularly beautiful colour photographs and an easy understandable text The Buzz about Bees tells the story of honeybees in a new perspective. Based on the latest data, notably from his own research group, Jürgen Tautz provides a wonderful insight into the realms of bees. In contrast to the view of bee colonies as perfect societies of selfless individuals ruled by a queen, Tautz introduces them as a superorganism , a self organizing and complex adaptive system based on a network of communication; a fascinating result of evolution - a mammal in several bodies. The entire range of astonishing bee activities is described. Remarkable action photographs never shown before present bees busy with cell cleaning, caring for the brood, serving in the queen's court, visiting flowers, receiving nectar, producing honey, comb building, entrance guarding, heating and cooling. Spotlights include bees grooming, swarming, fighting, telephoning, sleeping and communicating by high-toned beeping, scents and dances. 

Attraverso foto spettacolari e un testo di facile comprensione Il ronzio delle api racconta la storia di questo insetto partendo da una prospettiva diversa. Jürgen Tautz, attraverso le scoperte più recenti, molto delle quali frutto del suo gruppo di lavoro, ci offre la possibilità di venire a contatto con lo straordinario mondo delle api. In contrasto col punto di vista che vede la colonia di api domestiche come una società perfetta, costituita da individui indipendenti governati da una regina, Tautz introduce il concetto di "superorganismo", cioè di un sistema capace di autogestirsi e di adattarsi puntualmente all’ambiente che lo circonda, grazie all’efficace sistema di comunicazione esistente fra le sue componenti: le api stesse. L’intera gamma delle sorprendenti attività che le api sono in grado di svolgere trova in questo testo una affascinante rappresentazione. Pregevoli fotografie, mai viste prima, ritraggono le api impegnate nei compiti più diversi: pulizia delle cellette, cura della prole, accudimento della regina, visite ai fiori, raccolta del nettare, produzione del miele, costruzione dei favi, protezione dell’alveare, termoregolazione, ecc. Il libro contiene anche immagini di api che si accoppiano, sciamano, combattono, dormono e soprattutto comunicano mediante suoni, profumi e danze.
