"The Auditory Sense of the Honey-Bee" is a 1922 work by N. E. Mcindoo exploring the sound-producing capacity and apparatus of the honey bee. This profusely-illustrated and detailed treatise will appeal to modern bee-keepers and those with scientific interest in the honey bee. Contents include: "So-called Vocal Organs of Insects", "Sound-producing Organ of Honey-bee", "Experiments to Determine how Bees make Sounds", "Morphology of Sound-producing Organ", "Sound-producing Organs of Other Insects", "So-called Auditory Organs of Insects", "Supposed Auditory Organs of Honey-bee", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Bee-keeping.
