Bee Pollination in Agricultural Eco-systems
James, Rosalind (Research Entomologist, USDA, Bee Biology and Systematics Lab, Research Entomologist, USDA, Bee Biology and Systematics Lab, Utah State University, Logan)
This book discusses the interplay among bees, agriculture and the environment. Both managed and wild bees are critical for successful pollination of numerous fruit, vegetable, oilseed and legume seed crops and are considered here. So is treatment of how bees also impact the agro-ecosystem in ways beyond simple pollination, such as by transporting pollen from genetically modified plants and by enhancing biological control strategies. The principles and examples areinternational. The concept is in line with current thinking of pollination as an important ecological process, and an understanding of agriculture as disturbance ecology.
