The Life of the Bee
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textMaurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian playwright, kept bees for twenty years and wrote of the hive as a city with a spirit of its own. It is half natural history and half meditation, and beekeepers have argued with it ever since. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911.
