At the moment I write this Amazon does not offer this title for free in Europe, but it is in the public domain, so you can find it for free on the web. On the web this book is available in several languages, including English, Dutch and French.In this book you can read a lot about the behaviour of bees (the author had an extensive knowledge of bees, not only from books he read but also from close observations of these little animals).A list of the contents of this book:I. ON THE THRESHOLD OF THE HIVEII. THE SWARMIII. THE FOUNDATION OF THE CITYIV. THE LIFE OF THE BEEV. THE YOUNG QUEENSVI. THE NUPTIAL FLIGHTVII. THE MASSACRE OF THE MALESVIII. THE PROGRESS OF THE RACEAPPENDIXMaurice Maeterlinck was a great writer who has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911. One of the main themes in his work is the meaning of life; and even in this book on bees you can find philosophical bits on this theme. Maeterlinck writes so beautifully that even if you're not interested in bees at all, I would recommend downloading this book and giving it a try.To give you an idea of the manner of writing of Maeterlinck and the content of this book I will copy one paragraph of the first chapter, namely the first phrases of 'section 5' of this chapter:In order to follow, as simply as possible, the life of the beesthrough the year, we will take a hive that awakes in the spring andduly starts on its labours; and then we shall meet, in their naturalorder, all the great episodes, viz.: the formation and departure ofthe swarm, the foundation of the new city, the birth, combat andnuptial flight of the young queens, the massacre of the males, andfinally, the return of the sleep of winter. With each of theseepisodes there will go the necessary explanations as to the laws,habits, peculiarities and events that produce and accompany it; sothat, when arrived at the end of the bee's short year, which extendsonly from April to the last days of September, we shall have gazedupon all the mysteries of the palace of honey.[...]I highly recommend this philosophical book about bees to anyone who loves to read beautifully written non-fiction. This book will not teach you how to keep bees though.
22 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Tell Us More Mr. Science By TUCO H. Not enough people read Maeterlinck today and this is a shame: the man was, unlike some Nobel prize winners in literature, truly a fantastic writer with a uniquely tuned, sharp, comprehensively philosophical but never didactic mind. Coming from a well-to-do Belgian family in the age before Television, Radio, and all the other usually destructive distractions of today, the young Maeterlinck had beekeeping for his principal hobby (just ask even your high-I.Q. high-schooler today ANYTHING about the life of bees and ants and other social insects and you'll be amazed at how little they know, in spite of the 'Discovery' Channel and all the documentary films made about the subject and shown on TV), and inspired by the essays of Fabre, began a period of amateur observation and experiment with his apiary, finally publishing the results in 1901, at the age of 39, as "Life of the Bee." Written in a highly poetic style that blended fact, imagination, and mystical speculation, it became the single most popular book ever written about insect life. Not that there aren't errors in Maeterlinck's observations that subsequent research corrected, but as far as the QUALITY OF WRITING is concerned, no one else can even come close to these amazing descriptions: in fact, some of the best written passages in all of literature are in this book.
