Summary: Don't bother!
Comment: As a critic once said of humorist/musician Tom Lehrer, "...plays piano acceptably." So Mr. Longgood, who teaches writing, writes acceptably, at least stylistically. And he does betray some knowledge of bees and beekeeping, although his unreasoned anthropomorphising of them quite gets in the way of any real understanding, either on his part or that of his readers.
Anyone who would like to understand bees, from either a practical or spiritual standpoint would do far better to read Dr. Richard Taylor's "The Joys of Beekeeping". Leave this dog to those misanthropes, sadly numerous, who must constantly apologize for their own existance.
Rating: 5
Summary: Long Live The Queen
Comment: A warm-hearted and touching look into the life of bees. Through the eyes of the author, the personality, social culture and care of bees are explored with love and wit. While scientifically sound, this book reads more like a novel than a text book. I highly recommend this book. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Rating: 5
Summary: delightful read
Comment: Without being highly educated in scientific terms or history, this book was a wonderful and enertaining read. I have always been fascinated by insects, especially bees and ants, and this book fulfilled every question I had on bees. Longgood has written it so well that it is like reading a novel rather than nonfiction. This book makes one want to go out in the hills and study the nearest colony of insects all day long.
