Honey-Bee: Its Nature, Homes and Products

From wild nest to honey jar, here is the bee's whole world in one friendly volume. William Hetherington Harris surveys the honey-bee for the general reader: the marvel of the colony and its queen, comb-building and communication, hives ancient and modern, and the sweet products, honey and wax, that bound bees to humanity for millennia. Written with Victorian thoroughness and charm, it is equal parts natural history, craft, and story. A rich introduction for anyone who has ever wondered about the hum. Follow the workers home.
