The hive is one of nature's great kingdoms, and this is its storybook. Tickner Edwardes gathers the science, history, and legend of the honey-bee into one flowing narrative: the queen and her court, the dance of the foragers, ancient beekeepers of Egypt and Greece, and the mysteries that puzzled naturalists for centuries. Written in 1908 with a naturalist's accuracy and a storyteller's grace, it remains one of the most loved books ever written about bees. Curious minds and honey lovers alike will find it irresistible. Enter the hive and hear its hum.
