Publisher's Synopsis
Written in 1919, this beautifully written and detailed explanation of the life of the honey bee, is fascinating and educational . The "Children's Life of the Bee" was written by Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian Playwright, who had won the Nobel prize in literature for his imaginative and poetic literary skills. His original work called "The Life of the Bee" was rewritten for children in order to be understood on simpler terms, while retaining it's entertaining and instructional value.
The story tells from beginning to end, the inner workings of the bee's life, from the beginning of the hive to the workers within, from the drones to the queen, and everything in between. A true adventure in a world that is virtually unknown to so many of us.
