Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Ever since men first hunted for honeycomb in rocks and daubed pictures of it on cave walls, the honeybee has been seen as one of the wonders of nature: social, industrious, beautiful, terrifying.
No other creature has inspired in humans an identification so passionate, persistent or fantastical.
In this gem of a book, award-winning writer Bee Wilson explores the magical world of the honeybee.
From the hive to honey, from beekeepers to honeymooners, via Aristotle, Shakespeare, Napoleon and Sherlock Holmes, here is a book that delights and surprises at every turn. And there is even a recipe or two.
