About this book

Not a manual of beekeeping, says Maurice Maeterlinck at the outset, but a livelier and more reflective account of bees by a man who had kept them for twenty years, limited to facts he had verified himself or that the textbooks fully accept. The chapters follow the hive from its threshold through the swarm, the founding of the colony, the young queens, the nuptial flight and the fate of the males to the progress of the race. Alfred Sutro made this English translation.
