Buzz, buzz, buzz. A fascinating and beautifully written explanation of the life of the honey bee. Maeterlinck, who won the Noble Prize for Literature, wrote a more scholarly work called The Life of the Bee but then rewrote it in simpler terms so that children could appreciate what goes in a hive. The book describes in simple language the inner workings of a hive from its beginning with a swarm to the fully functional hive with thousands of workers, drones and a queen busily building, repairing and gathering.

I just saw my first bee swarm. Now I understand what was happening. With bees declining, possibly heading for extinction, this should be mandatory listening for adults and children alike.
Better than nature programmes on TV

The fascinating, tragic & glorious life of the bee. Worth listening to more than once. More interesting/enthralling than modern TV nature documentaries.
