I thoroughly enjoyed this book and devoured it in one sitting, although I recommend savoring it more slowly.
Even though he muses that we are attempting to manage a social organism that is affected by rules we do not yet fully understand Jay remains firmly rooted in the #Beeoptimism movement: for his scientific mind, the unknown is full of possibilities.
The essay Magic Bullets for Mites is a great example of Jay\'s ability to communicate complex topics with compelling, accessible prose.
Some topics covered in these 34 short essays include how bees\' fat bodies may hold clues to new mite control strategies (the Fats Domino Effect), an aerial view of helicopter beekeepers and burned out foragers, why bees drink dirty water, chasmogamy in soybeans, trait rot, genetic signatures described as chords composed of eight genetic notes, and winter bees as the third worker form.
Each cleverly-worded chapter uncovers exciting findings from complicated research.
Every essay in this book is concise yet funny, and rich in content.
