Synopsis

Chapters trace bee folklore and bee culture from Egyptian, Babylonian and other ancient sources through to practices in modern Europe. Alongside the text, the book brings together rare illustrations of bees, hives and beekeepers as they appear in paintings and sculpture, as well as on coins, jewellery and Mayan glyphs.

Further examples include imagery carved into African tree trunks, building a visual record that reflects the book’s stated focus on art.
