The Life of the Bee by Maurice Maeterlinck

4.0

A beautiful little book, an extended essay really, a poetic paean to the bee. As a hobby beekeeper I learned much from Maeterlink; his observations of bees are peerless, his love for them unmatched. But I have to knock a star off for his frequent digressions into flowery Victorian nature-worship and philosophical speculations.
