Editorial Reviews
Review
"Michener has produced what is properly labeled a magnum opus. Ambrosia." -- David W. Roubik, Science
"This definitive reference by an acclaimed expert accounts for 1200 genera/subgenera and 16,000 species of bees in the world... Useful guide for entomologists, biologists, botanists, ecologists, and students." -- Southeastern Naturalist
"Magnificent book... Should appeal not only to entomologists interested in bees, but also to ecologists looking for an overview of bee biology." -- Christopher O'Toole, Nature
Review
"It is a masterpiece, an instant classic of entomology." -- Edward O. Wilson
"Bees of the World is a classic work. Written by the recognized world authority on bees, it enables the reader to identify bees and to understand their classification and phylogeny. Michener's strength is his world mastery of bee systematics, and this book will, no doubt, be the 'bible' used by specialists and students throughout the world." -- Jerome G. Rozen, Jr., American Museum of Natural History
"Charles Michener is the world's expert on bees. There is no one who knows more about the group and no one who has trained more students in bee biology and systematics. I can think of no other person alive today who could have written this book -- it will be an invaluable resource to a wide audience of people interested in bees, ecology, evolution, and natural history." -- Bryan N. Danforth, Cornell University
