Honey bees have been described as exceptionally clever, well-organized, mutualistic, collaborative, busy, efficient--in short a perfect society. In The Dark Side of the Hive, authors Robin Moritz and Robin Crewe write about the life history of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, focusing on the "dark side of the hive" including cheating, robbery, worker inefficiency, and unfair reproduction strategies.
