 As mentioned in my presentation tonight, two very interesting books about bee-lore (absolutely nothing to do with viruses!) are:

The Sacred Bee, by Hilda Ransome ($3.99 in paperback!)

Bee, by Claire Preston (starting at $7.99 for a used copy)

These are NOT about beekeeping as such, but instead are about the fascination and connection people have had with honey bees throughout history. They touch on history, folklore, religiosity, art, politics and more. Something for everybody. The Ransome book is the original classic; Preston expands on many of the same topics.

Enjoy!
