Summary This book is a sequel of a similar book, edited by Randolf Menzel and Alison Mercer, "Neurobiology and Behavior of Honeybees", published in 1987
It is a "Festschrift" for the 70th birthday of Randolf Menzel, who devoted his life to the topic of the book
The book will include an open commentary for each section written by Randolf Menzel, and discussed with the authors
The written contributions take their inspiration from a symposium on the topic, with all the authors, that was held in Berlin in summer 2010
