520 Beekeeper and garden historian Lotte Moller explores the
activities inside and outside the hive while charting the
bees' natural order and habits. With a light touch she
uses her encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject to shed
light on humanity's understanding of bees and bee lore
from antiquity to the present. A humorous debunking of the
myths that have held for centuries is matched by a wry
exploration of how and when they were replaced by fact. In
her travels Moller encounters a trigger-happy Californian
beekeeper raging against both killer bees and bee politics,
warring beekeepers on the Danish island of L so, and
Brother Adam of Buckfast Abbey, breeder of the Buckfast
queen now popular throughout Europe and beyond, as well a
host of others as passionate as she about the complex
world of apiculture both past and present
