The Birds and the Bees series from Vintage Classics - beautiful editions of the finest British nature writing
Bee Journal is a poem-journal of beekeeping that chronicles the life of the hive.
It observes the living architecture of the comb, the range and locality of the colony; its flights, flowers, water sources, parasites, lives and deaths. Because of its genesis as a working journal, there is here an unusual intimacy and scrutiny of life and death in nature. The language is dense and clotted, the imagery thrillingly fresh, and the observing eye close, scrupulous and full of wonder.
