Little Book of Bees

Humans and bees have enjoyed a close and mutually beneficial relationship for millennia. Monarch, celebrity, monk, peasant, warrior or regular Joe - there are few who haven't fallen under the spell of bees and the riches they bring. From superstition to science, cake recipes to self-help, these quotations are a mirror to our hopes and fears, our lives and death (not to mention our tastebuds).
