Ever since men first hunted for honeycomb in The Story Epub #181 rocks and daubed pictures of it on cave walls the honeybee has been seen as one of the wonders of nature social industrious beautiful terrifying No other creature has inspired in humans an identification so passionate persistent or fantastical The Hive recounts the astonishing tale of all the Maybe two and a half stars Some sections were interesting than others The author is a food writer and the best parts of this book are when she writes about honey's history and importance as a food or even as a medicine The chapter on politics really dragged The last chapter is on beekeeping and it lacks an overall summary or point for the book Not a bad book and certainly not badly written I'm just less interested in human appropriation of bees which is really what this book is about than in bees themselves
