The Mystery of the Hive Eugene Evrard

Originally published in 1923. A fascinating and rather unusual bee book dealing with all aspects of the hive and its occupants. The contents include: Initiation ? The Colony and the Hive ? Work ? The Bee?s Geometry ? The Common Task: Housekeeping ? The Plunderers ? The Cycle of Maternity ? The Cradles ? The Harvest of the Flowers ? The Spirit of the Flowers ? The Slaying of the Suitors ? The Supreme Ordeals ? The Springtime Madness - The Departure of the Swarm ? The Deserted City ? The Nuptial Flight ? The Mystery of the Hive. Many of the earliest apian books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
