Books by Maurice Maeterlinck
“Maeterlinck was a playwright and poet who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He also wrote natural history. I loved bees, kept bees, was often stung by them. But, after reading this book, all these things I was seeing started to make sense—how the bees behaved, how they communicated, how they swarmed, why they visited flowers at certain times of day.

It’s bees as a metaphor for all life.” Read more...
