The Mind of a Bee
The Mind of a Bee by Lars Chittka is a fascinating exploration of bee intelligence that challenges the idea that insects are simple, mindless creatures. Drawing on decades of scientific research, Chittka reveals that bees can learn, remember, solve problems, navigate complex environments, and even show individual personalities. The book takes readers inside a bee’s sensory world—how they see, think, and experience their surroundings—and raises thought-provoking questions about insect consciousness and ethics. Clear, engaging, and eye-opening, The Mind of a Bee reshapes how we understand one of nature’s most important pollinators.
