"Honeybees of Africa" offers a comprehensive analysis of the honeybee species of the continent, both at the subspecies level and by country. The book is based on an updated multivariate analysis that combines the databases of Ruttner and Hepburn & Radloff, encompassing information on nearly 20,000 bees. It places special emphasis on the natural zones of hybridization and the exchange between different populations. Additionally, it addresses seasonal developmental cycles in various ecological and climatic zones of Africa, swarm behavior, migration, and the abandonment of hives. The work also includes an analysis of the continent's bee flora and is supplemented by tables with quantitative data on all aspects of honeybee biology, as well as continental and regional maps.
