We know and appreciate bees as indispensable plant pollinators and honey producers. Since Karl von Frisch, 1886-1982, we have known that they communicate with each other in a unique way. The round and waggle dance is their fascinating language, the discovery of which earned the famous behavioral scientist the Nobel Prize in 1973. "The Dance of the Bees" is the first in-depth and masterfully narrated biography of this exceptional scientist. Tania Munz creates an emotional portrait of a highly interesting person caught between a life for science, an incredible discovery and the difficult conditions during the Second World War.
