More reverie than treatise, \u003cem\u003eThe Life of the Bee\u003c\/em\u003e (1901) is science transfigured into wonder, the small golden insect made a subject for philosophy and poetry alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt remains the most lyrical book ever written about the honeybee, treasured by beekeepers, naturalists and poets.
