An Illustrated Biology of Apis Mellifera

In the section “educational materials”, we bring the first part of a cartoon publication focused on biology of honey bees created by Miroslav Urban.
The series contains total of 12 hand-illustrated tables covering topics like bee anatomy, social behavior of bees, life of the bee colony during the year and the relationship of bees in the landscape.

A big thank you goes to Ruth and Ian Homer for their help with the English translations.
