Resumen
Este texto está dirigido a las personas que no tienen conocimiento previo de ento-mología (el estudio de insectos), pero sí tienen interés en conocer la diversidad de abejas en Costa Rica, su forma de vida, cómo interactúan con las flores y la manera como se pueden conservar. Sin embargo, con el fin de ofrecer una mayor y mejor formación a estudiantes, profesores y aficionados a la naturaleza, se utiliza, en algunas ocasiones, un vocabulario que puede requerir conocimientos básicos de biología para ser comprendido. Se ha tratado de minimizar el uso de términos técnicos, pero es imposible evitarlos completamente; por esta razón, hay un glosa-rio al final del libro. En algunos casos, se emplea una palabra más comprensible, aunque para los especialistas no sea la palabra idónea, por ejemplo, "tórax" en vez de "mesosoma", "abdomen" en vez de "metasoma", "comportamiento social" en vez de "comportamiento eusocial".
