Bumblebee Economics, by Bernd Heinrich (Harvard University Press)
This book details the energy economy of bumble bees, with in-depth analysis of the physiology of body temperature regulation. It also includes chapters on competition between species (of plants and pollinators), pollination and energetics (of plants and pollinating animals) and ecology and coevolution.
The Forgotten Pollinators, by Stephen L. Buchmann and Gary Paul Nabhan (Island Press, 1995)
The authors explore the vital relationships between plants and the animals. The book is a lively and fascinating account of the ecological and cultural context of plant- pollinator relationships.
