First published in 1913, Oswald H. Latter's "Bees and Wasps" is a
fantastic guide to the common varieties of bees and wasps, providing
detailed descriptions of their habit, habitat, natural history, anatomy,
and much more. This comprehensive handbook contains a wealth of timeless
information and is not to be missed by those with an interest in the bee
keeping and entomology. Contents include: "Introduction", "Fossores or
Digger-Wasps: Pompilid Section", "Fossores or Digger-Wasps: Sphegid
Section", "Diploptera (double-winged wasps)", "Bees (Anthophila, or
flower-lovers)", "Long-pointed-tongued Bees (Apidae)", "The
Social-bees", "Some Structural Features: The Sting and the 'Tongue'",
etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and
expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
introduction on bee keeping.
