A comprehensive review of the honeybees of Africa on a subspecies as well as by
country basis. Includes an updated multivariate analysis of the subspecies based on the
merger of the Ruttner database (Oberursel) and that of Hepburn & Radloff (Grahamstown)
for nearly 20,000 bees. Special emphasis is placed on natural zones of hybridisation and
introgression of different populations; seasonal cycles of development in different
ecological climatological zones of the continent; swarming, migration and absconding;
and an analysis of the bee flora of the continent. The text is supplemented by tables
containing quantitative data on all aspects of honeybee biology, and by continental and
regional maps.
