This is one revelation from the book Wild Honey Bees: An Intimate Portrait by photographer Ingo Arndt and scientist Jürgen Tautz. Wild bees, apparently, can survive these challenges. By studying what contributes to the success of wild bees, we hope to learn how we can better support managed bees,” says Tautz, who is a professor emeritus at the University of Würzburg in Germany. Because of this, wild bees harbor a genetic wealth that could one day prove essential.”Honey bees workers exchanging food on honeycomb.
