Honeybees make decisions collectively - and democratically. He concludes that what works well for bees can also work well for people: any decision-making group should consist of individuals with shared interests and mutual respect, a leader's influence should be minimized, debate should be relied upon, diverse solutions should be sought, and the majority should be counted on for a dependable resolution.

  • Fascinating insight into swarming

    This is an intriguing summary of Thomas's work to understand more about honey bees swarming from preparation to suitable nest selection. As somebody who doesn't read a lot of books, its an easy read, warmly written with a nice mix of facts and humour, but as a beekeeper its fascinating and reveals more details of these amazing little creatures. I'd recommend it to any beekeeper who likes learning more about their colonies.
