The Bee Experience

A bee experience is unforgettable. This book is an anthropomorphic journey that follows the footsteps of many so moved through history. It walks their journey as they discover truths not just about honeybees but themselves. Building on the personal encounters of the author and his apiary guests, this book explores our human relationship with these complex creatures. From altruism to eugenics, from power to gender politics, from the natural world to industry, we find many of our own human obsessions reflected in these little creatures. A close look at bees reveals startling complexity and sophistication. Together with the honeybee, the book explores the lasting impressions that bees have made from Aristotle's ancient Greece, to Virgil's Roman poetry, to Maeterlinck's artistic admiration at the turn of the century, to modern scientific understanding. A true bee experience is very personal. This book creates a personal experience helping readers discover themselves reflected in the bees.
