• 4.0 out of 5 stars from FogRider -- A Life More Than Bees : Profound but hard to follow his intense, intellectual, and phiosophicall point of view at times. His use of the English language is impressive but he lost me a couple of times and it took a rereading of several passages to see his connection between the life of bees and the life of humanity. That being said, I still enjoyed the challenge and feel his prognosis that much more observing is needed vs.drawing conclusions too quickly. I couldn't help but think that quantum biology and all the other emerging quanta reinforce the author's views on "what is coming". ( Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from eCid -- The Sex Life of Bees--and More... : It is a classic, of course. He makes it quite clear that he is not an entymologist or an apiarist, but his own observations over many years are priceless. Particularly interesting are his explanations of swarming when the queen bee flies to higher altitudes than most bees can reach and is pursued by the male bees, one fortunate male is able to impregnate the queen while in flight--only to have his abdomen ripped out and dying when the deed is done. The sperm from that one donor is stored in a special organ in the queen's abdomen, where it is doled out to fertilize each of the thousands of eggs she will lay daily. It's a gruesome death for the successful donor, but that one male bee gets to father generations and literally hundreds of thousands of new bees. The fun part of Maeterlinck's descriptions is the endlessly delicate terminology he uses to describe the copulation process to a rigidly Puritanical Victorian readership in 19th century Europe. He has to resort to much word verbiage to explain the fact that--humans not excluded--in so far as Nature is concerned, the only reason for copulation is to continue the species.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Thomas -- The Source of "The Spirit of the Beehive" : Victor Erice's great film, "The Spirit of the Beehive" (1973), had as the inspiration for its title this work by Maeterlink. Since the film has been a favorite since I saw it in a theatre when it opened on its limited American debut, only to fall into obscurity until 2006 when Criterion reissued it in a fine remastered box set, I felt I had to have this book. Erice writes, "The title [of my film] really is not mine. It is taken from a book, in my opinion the most beautiful thing ever written about the life of bees, written by the great poet and playwright Maurice Maeterlinck. In that work, Maeterlinck uses the expression 'The Spirit of the Beehive' to name the powerful, enigmatic and paradoxical force that the bees seem to obey, and that the reason of man has never come to understand."

• 3.0 out of 5 stars from mary w truland -- to Bee or Not to..... : I can't be ungrateful for a FREE book, but if you are as ignorant as I am, you will not realize that Maeterlinck (1862-1949) waxed (no pun intended) poetic on all sorts of subjects and the language is lovely but the information is very romantic and not exactly correct. This is somewhat like reading Rudolf Steiner on bees, which is very interesting but of no use whatsoever to a beginning beekeeper. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Barbara -- Interesting book : An interesting book well written in the style of 1901 when it was published. The writer was very, very verbose and philosophical. I do wonder how people held conversations at that time. If people went on and on in the same way, though I have heard that political speeches lasted for hours as did sermons. Mr. Maeterlinck did love the bees and was obviously entranced by them. He offered very interesting information about what went on/goes on inside a bee hive if you can wade through and get to it. It is worth the read in spite of what I have said above. ( Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2014 )

However the bees take care of us with their familiar honey which does not rot, its medicinal value and adding $15 billion to our economy thru agriculture and feeding us and the rest of the world by pollination!

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Linda Umstead -- The Life of the Bee : This is probably one of the most-read apiary book ever published. Written early in the 20th century, it is a delightful exploration and explanation of the complex society, habits and amazing accomplishments of these tiny creatures, whose industry complements that of humans in very many ways.

El reconocido poeta y dramaturgo belga ofrece una prueba brillante en esta, su obra más popular, de que "ningún ser vivo, ni siquiera el hombre, ha logrado en el centro de su esfera lo que ha logrado la abeja ". Ciclo de vida de la abeja. El ciclo de vida de las abejas melíferas se divide en cuatro etapas: el huevo, la larva, la pupa y la etapa adulta. Etapa 1: la etapa del huevo: la abeja reina es la única abeja de la colonia que es capaz de poner entre 2.000 y 3.000 huevos en un día. El huevo se coloca en posición vertical y cae de lado al tercer día. La vida útil de una abeja puede ser de varias semanas, meses o años. La especie, casta y género de una abeja influyen en cuánto tiempo vivirá. Las abejas reinas del género Apis pueden sobrevivir durante años.

The social structure of a bee hive is that of a matriarchal family headed by a queen. The queen has a potential life span of three years and during this time may continually lay eggs thereby establishing and maintaining a total colony population of approximately twenty five thousand bees. The life cycle of a honey bee is made up of four important stages. These four stages are the egg, the larva, the pupae and the adult stage. The colonies of honey bees are perennial ones and the only exceptions to this rule are paper wasp and the bumble bee colonies. Every bee colony comprises three main types or castes of bees. The life span of a honey bee colony depends upon the survival of a variety of bees within it. If only the queen lives, for instance, a colony cannot survive, as she cannot produce honey or pollinate flowers on her own. A honey bee colony is an organized society of three adult castes: queens, workers and drones. Each caste has certain ... The Secret Life of Bees: Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood.
