The sacred bee in ancient times and folklore
2004
Ransome, Hilda M.
"There are oddity and beauty and a broad scholarly interest in this unusual book."--The New York Times. Well-documented, copiously illustrated study of the creature that has provided the world with wholesome food and inspired many beliefs and superstitions. Chapters cover the folklore of bees and bee culture--from Egyptian, Babylonian, and other ancient sources to practices in modern Europe. Rare illustrations of bees, hives, and beekeepers as they appear in paintings and sculpture; on coins, jewelry, and Mayan glyphs; and carved into African tree trunks.
