Such a brilliantly-written book. A fascinating look into the world of bees, but probably more importantly, a thrilling reflection on humankind and what lessons we can learn from the Hymenoptera (yes, I learned that word from this book).

4,5/5

I really liked the bee-specific parts, as he follows the life of a hive through the year. The world of the bees is fascinating. But the book suffers from long gusts of very dated philosophizing...

“Human experience renders it daily more clear that the highest thought we can attain will long be inferior still to the mysterious truth we seek.”

I just loved it. Everything about it. How it is written, what it conveys. I can reccomend it to everyone.

Delightful, vintage piece on bees.


Never thought I would have so many feelings about bumble bees.
