Summary: The hymenoptera (inclusive of bees, wasps, and ants) play a key role in global ecologies and human food systems and with the recent decline of certain pollinating bee populations, among other developments, conservation concerns surrounding this insect order have occasioned new interest. In this volume, New (emeritus, zoology, La Trobe U., Australia) provides an overview of the hymenoptera in relation to issues of control, conservation, and human food systems. Ten chapters discuss classical biological control of hymenoptera, the challenges of introduced bees, social wasps and ants as invasive species, pollinator declines, the shortcomings of current conservation practice, habitat parameters and manipulation, case histories of seven select species, and priorities for the future.
