Download or read book Our Native Bees written by Paige Embry and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times 2018 Holiday Gift Selection Honey bees get all the press, but the fascinating story of North America’s native bees—an endangered species essential to our ecosystems and food supplies—is just as crucial. Through interviews with farmers, gardeners, scientists, and bee experts, Our Native Bees explores the importance of native bees and focuses on why they play a key role in gardening and agriculture. The people and stories are compelling: Paige Embry goes on a bee hunt with the world expert on the likely extinct Franklin’s bumble bee, raises blue orchard bees in her refrigerator, and learns about an organization that turns the out-of-play areas in golf courses into pollinator habitats. Our Native Bees is a fascinating, must-read for fans of natural history and science and anyone curious about bees.
Download or read book Common Bees of Western North America written by Olivia Messinger Carril and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Common Bees of Western North America, a companion guide to our recently published Common Bees of Eastern North America, is the first species-level photographic field guide to the most commonly seen bees in the western United States and Canada. Identifying bees by species is challenging even for taxonomists. This book walks readers through the process of bee identification using breathtaking high-resolution color photos that highlight the unique characteristics of each species, making identification easier. Each species will be presented through multiple images highlighting key identifying marks, as well as silhouette images depicting the actual size of the species. Key identification features, size, phenology, floral preference, nesting, and related species will be described with range maps for every species. The book will close with a taxonomic key to bee genera of the western United States and Canada"--
Download or read book Insects of the Texas Lost Pines written by Stephen Welton Taber and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation In an isolated pine forest on the eastern edge of Central Texas, there lies an island of abundant and diversified life known as the Lost Pines, the western-most stand of the loblolly pine. This 100,000-acre island includes portions of Bastrop and Buescher state parks. It was here that Stephen Welton Taber and Scott B. Fleenor encountered insect life of astonishing diversity. Setting out to identify and describe the insects and related animals most readily observed in the Lost Pines, they also discovered some hidden, rare, and never-before-described species. The result is this book, a bestiary of more than 280 species of invertebrates including insects, millipedes, centipedes, spiders, scorpions, mollusks, and worms. Each species description includes common and scientific names; information on biology, distribution, and similar species; and the authors' special remarks. The next time you visit Bastrop State Park, turn over a few logs, look at the ants, and don't swat the flies. Take along this newguide and open up a world of life in one of Texas' most unique and popular landscapes.
Download or read book Pollination Services to Agriculture written by Barbara Gemmill-Herren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is only recently that the immense economic value of pollination to agriculture has been appreciated. At the same time, the alarming collapse in populations of bees and other pollinators has highlighted the urgency of addressing this issue. This book focuses on the specific measures and practices that the emerging science of pollination ecology is identifying to conserve and promote animal pollinators in agroecosystems. It reviews the expanding knowledge base on pollination services, providing evidence to document the status, trends and importance of pollinators to sustainable agricultural production. It provides practical and specific measures that land managers can undertake to ensure that agroecosystems are supportive and friendly to pollinators. It draws on the Global Pollination Project, supported by UNEP/GEF and implemented by FAO and seven partner countries (Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa), which serve to provide "lessons from the field".

Download or read book Common Bees of Eastern North America written by Olivia Messinger Carril and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bees play an essential role in the pollination of native plants and agricultural crops across the globe. In North America alone there are more than 4,000 bee species. In spite of their abundance and diversity, there is no accessible field guide for the non-expert. This book will remedy that situation by providing a carefully crafted introduction to bee identification for eastern North America. No portable field guide could include coverage of the myriad species in the region, so the book concentrates on identifying bees at the genus level. It includes information on the 72 different genera that are found east of the Rockies"--
Download or read book Field Guide to the Common Bees of California written by Gretchen LeBuhn and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging and easy-to-use natural history guidebook provides a thorough overview of native and honey bee biology and offers tools for identifying the most common bees of California and the Western United States. Full-color illustrations introduce readers to more than 30 genera of native bees, noting each one's needs and habits and placing them in their wider context. The author highlights beesÕ ties to our own lives, the food we eat, and the habitat we provide, and suggests ways to support bees in our own backyards. In addition to helping readers understand and distinguish among major groups of bees, this guide reveals how bees are an essential part of healthy ecosystem and how many plants, including important crop plants, depend on the pollination they provide. As growing evidence points to declining bee populations, this book offers critical information about the bond between plants and pollinators, and between humans and nature. Thoroughly researched and full of new insights into the ancient process of pollination, Field Guide to the Common Bees of California; Including Bees of the Western United States is invaluable for the window it opens onto the biodiversity, adaptive range, and complexity of invertebrate communities.
