Samenvatting

The bee is probably the most written about species after the human race. As so many commentators through the ages have discovered, here is far more to the insect than its biology and life cycle. In Praise of Bees explores bees' place in human lives and imaginations, from cave paintings and inscribed clay tablets through to our contemporary world. This beautiful book's pages are filled with nuggets of bee science and practical beekeeping with carefully researched references to the role of these fascinating creatures in myth, religion, politics, philosophy and folklore. A rich variety of illustrations, ranging from Old Masters and scientific etchings to modern photographs appear throughout accompanied by a selection of verse, much of it the author's. The text is leavened with a dry wit, resulting in a scholarly but eminently readable exploration of bees, their complex society and their place in the world. This is especially relevant in view of concerns about their present plight and the ecological consequences. I'll tell you what I already love, and that's the cover! Not just the design etc., but the lovely smooth suede-like sensation to the touch. It's such a pleasure to hold . Shirley Wright, Indigo Dreams Publishing The author has compiled a 'cabinet' of information relating to bees. She has delved into many historical aspects to gather these curiosities for our delight...This is a quality volume, expertly produced. It is copiously illustrated with photographs and line drawings. It is obvious that the author has carried out a huge amount of research. Reading this text will no doubt open your curiosity to the nuggets held within this cabinet. BeeCraft
