After finding not a plate of cookies but a jar of honey in a sleepy Colorado home, Santa Claus suspects a beekeeper may live under its roof. In this Rocky Mountain twist on a Christmas classic, Denver beekeeping teacher and bee rescuer Gregg McMahan, known locally as the Bee Guru, creates a tale of holiday cheer for beekeepers in Colorado and everywhere. With fourteen beautifully hand-painted illustrations by sister and brother team Mollie and Stephen Schultz, Christmas Honey is a loving tribute to honeybees, beekeepers, and anyone who appreciates the unmistakable goodness of honey.
Ever since men first hunted for honeycomb in 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 weird and wonderful things that humans believed about bees and their "society" over the ages. It ranges from the honey delta of ancient Egypt to the Tupelo forests of modern Florida, taking in a cast of characters including Alexander the Great and Napoleon, Sherlock Holmes and Muhammed Ali. The history of humans and honeybees is also a history of ideas, taking us through the evolution of science, religion, and politics, and a social history that explores the bee's impact on food and human ritual. In this beautifully illustrated book, Bee Wilson shows how humans will always view the hive as a miniature universe with order and purpose, and look to it to make sense of their own.
