The Hive by Bee Wilson
The Story of the Honeybee and Us
A cultural and natural history of the honeybee that traces how humans have observed, mythologized, and used the hive from antiquity to today, blending science with art, politics, and literature. It explores bee biology and social organization, the evolution of beekeeping and hive design, the symbolic meanings people project onto bees, and the enduring allure of honey and wax, while probing the gap between myth and modern entomology.
