An old classic,
This review is from: The Life of the Bee (Paperback)
The date on this item is misleading. It was written in 1901 in French and then translated into English by Alfred Sutro and published in English in 1910. It is a classic bee book written in a lively style. It's reasonably accurate, for a book so old, and has a nice readable style. Maeterlinck, the author describes it thus:
"It is not my intention to write a treatise on apiculture, or on practical bee-keeping...I wish to speak of the bees very simply, as one speaks of a subject one knows and loves to those who know it not." I believe he succeded very well.

This review is from: The Life of the Bee (Paperback)
This is probably one of the most-read apiary book ever published. Written early in the 20th century, it is a delightful exploration and explanation of the complex society, habits and amazing accomplishments of these tiny creatures, whose industry complements that of humans in very many ways.
