EXCERPT
The European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) lives in a large community called a colony. This consists of tens of thousands of worker bees, a few hundred to a few thousand drones, and one single queen. The bees make the honeycomb their home. It is a wax formation made up of hexagonal cells, which serves as a cradle to the members of the bee colony, while it is also a space for storing honey and pollen.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Ivan Esenko presents the world of nature and invites the reader to learn more about the world that we are part of. His camera is his most faithful companion and its lens particularly likes to 'capture' those animals that live in close quarters to man. We take them so much for granted that we no longer seem to care for them. Ivan is their voice, he has become their 'personal' photographer.
