Listen to the bees. Bees reflect human society - understand them and we can get a little closer to understanding ourselves. Humans and bees have enjoyed a close relationship for millennia, and the entries in this book reflect at least two thousand years of fascination with the world' s favourite insect. Monarch, celebrity, monk, peasant, warrior or regular Joe, there are few who haven' t fallen under the spell of bees and the riches they bring. From superstition to science, cake recipes to self-help, these quotes are a mirror to ourselves - our hopes and fears, our lives and deaths. Not to mention our taste-buds. ' A summer where there are no bees becomes as sad and as empty as one without flowers or birds' - The Life of the Bee, Maurice Maeterlinck, 1901, trans. Alfred Sutro, 1914. In many European countries and parts of North America it is traditional to visit a hive and ' tell the bees' when there is a birth, marriage, departure, return or death in the family.
