The Children's Life of the Bee by Maurice Maeterlinck, 1919

This book is a beautifully written educational story of the life of a honey bee. It narrates the inner working of the beehive and the roles within the swarm. 

The Children's Life of the Bee was a children's book follow-up to the Nobel Prize-winning book The Life of the Bee by the same author. However, this book is not childish by any means. Its language is robust and lyrical. It describes in detail the inner workings of a hive from its beginning with a swarm to the fully functional hive with thousands of workers, drones, and a queen busily building, repairing, and gathering.

This ebook is a digitally remastered copy from the first edition of the publication. It has been preserved in its original typeface with original black and illustrations for your enjoyment.
