The biology of individual colony members is only addressed when it is necessary to explain colonial mechanisms, and the colonyas a whole, as a biological unit, which is the main focus of this treatise. Both of us felt that all current textbooks on bee biology put too much emphasis on the individual worker, queen or drone in the colony.
