Life

After graduation Heiko Bellmann studied biology at the University of Göttingen. Then he went in 1975 at the University of Ulm and from then on there was a research assistant. In 1979 he was punctatum at the Ulm School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics with the investigation to ethology Central European stomach collector bees ( Hymenoptera, Megachilidae ), Osmia bicolor, aurulenta Osmia, Osmia rufohirta, Anthidium, Anthidiellum strigatum, Trachusa byssina doctorate. Since the mid- 1980s, he became known to the public through its provided with color photographs identification books. In addition to these, edited by Gunter Steinbach field guides Bellmann also wrote the volumes 4-6 of Nature Encyclopedia of Europe ( 1992) of the Munich mosaic publisher and together with Reinhard Witt for the same publisher, the two-volume Encyclopedia of Natural Insect (1994).

In Franckh - Kosmos Verlag Heiko Bellmann published the comprehensive representations of bees, wasps, ants. Hymenoptera of Central Europe ( 1995), Cosmos Atlas Arachnids of Europe ( 1997), The New Cosmos Butterfly leaders. Butterflies, caterpillars and food plants (2003) and The Cosmos locusts leader. The types of central Europe safely determine (2006). Some of these books have been translated into French, Spanish, Dutch or Polish. Together with Klaus Bellmann Honomichl led since 1996 also the founded by Werner Jacobs standard work biology and ecology of insects away - both in the known Taschenlexikon form, as well as an expanded CD -ROM encyclopedia.

Since Bellmann dealt intensively since 1971 with the photographic documentation, especially the domestic insects and arachnids, he could equip all its publications with your own photos, which are characterized by their high quality of the key success factor of his books. Many pictures were taken in Central Europe and the Mediterranean. After Bell 's own account his image archive consisted in 2006 of around 50,000 slides of about 2,400 animal and 1,800 plant species, the most important animal and plant groups in Central and Southern Europe are considered, with the exception of birds, fish, protozoa and marine organisms. For this rich fund he tipped his slide presentations on various topics.
