Bees are having a heyday at the moment. I think many of us spent part of our time fascinated by bees and the other part terrified of getting stung. We definitely love the products that bees make, from honey and propolis to many of the fruits and vegetables you find in the supermarket. But bees are so much more than that. My guest this week is Lars Chittka, a Professor in Sensory and Behavioral Ecology, Queen Mary University of London. And he’s written a marvelous book, The Mind of a Bee, detailing the complex and intricate inner lives of bees.
