When you hear the word "bee," what comes to mind? Is it sweet honey? Or hexagonal-shaped beehives? Or the stinger on their tails? You might first think of honeybees, but in fact, there are many different types of bees, such as long-tailed bees, hornets, sand wasps, mud daubers, big-headed wasps, spotted wasps, leaf-cutting bees, and more. Each type has its own unique life habits. Fabre meticulously observed every kind of bee, sometimes even raising them himself, and sometimes sitting in forests or grasslands for hours on end to observe them continuously, discovering many new species of bees in the process. This book will introduce the story of hunting bees. Hunting bees capture prey to provide their larvae with safe and fresh food, leaving the prey alive but motionless. So, what kind of magical hunting technique do they use? Let’s explore the world of bees together!
