Book excerpt: If you think about it, we are all bees. You surely agree that we share many similarities with these wonderfully diverse insects. Sticking with that comparison like good honey, we can learn a lot about life from bees. For Carol the Bee, life is full of emotions, adventures, and ever-changing demands. Her supervisor, Dudley the Drone, continuously assigns more workload to Carol's stubborn and agreeable co-worker Bonnie and herself. However, during a trip to collect pollen, Carol decides that life can no longer consist of so much exploitation. Trying to change her life and the lives of every bee in the bee-hive of St. H. Comb, Carol sets out to experience adventures in her search for a less stressful, happier world. But change does not come peacefully, and Carol soon finds herself in direct conflict with Queen Bee Queerie, who wants to kill her. Will Carol succeed in helping Bonnie to change her attitude towards work, and will she be able to free St. H. Comb from exploitation?

Download or read book The Hive written by Bee Wilson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since men first hunted for honeycomb in rocks and daubed pictures of it on cave walls, the honeybee has been seen as one of the wonders of nature: social, industrious, beautiful, terrifying. No other creature has inspired in humans an identification so passionate, persistent, or fantastical. The Hive recounts the astonishing tale of all the weird and wonderful things that humans believed about bees and their "society" over the ages. It ranges from the honey delta of ancient Egypt to the Tupelo forests of modern Florida, taking in a cast of characters including Alexander the Great and Napoleon, Sherlock Holmes and Muhammed Ali. The history of humans and honeybees is also a history of ideas, taking us through the evolution of science, religion, and politics, and a social history that explores the bee's impact on food and human ritual. In this beautifully illustrated book, Bee Wilson shows how humans will always view the hive as a miniature universe with order and purpose, and look to it to make sense of their own.
Download or read book Bees in America written by Tammy Horn and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honey bees—and the qualities associated with them—have quietly influenced American values for four centuries. During every major period in the country's history, bees and beekeepers have represented order and stability in a country without a national religion, political party, or language. Bees in America is an enlightening cultural history of bees and beekeeping in the United States. Tammy Horn, herself a beekeeper, offers a varied social and technological history from the colonial period, when the British first introduced bees to the New World, to the present, when bees are being used by the American military to detect bombs. Early European colonists introduced bees to the New World as part of an agrarian philosophy borrowed from the Greeks and Romans. Their legacy was intended to provide sustenance and a livelihood for immigrants in search of new opportunities, and the honey bee became a sign of colonization, alerting Native Americans to settlers' westward advance. Colonists imagined their own endeavors in terms of bees' hallmark traits of industry and thrift and the image of the busy and growing hive soon shaped American ideals about work, family, community, and leisure. The image of the hive continued to be popular in the eighteenth century, symbolizing a society working together for the common good and reflecting Enlightenment principles of order and balance. Less than a half-century later, Mormons settling Utah (where the bee is the state symbol) adopted the hive as a metaphor for their protected and close-knit culture that revolved around industry, harmony, frugality, and cooperation. In the Great Depression, beehives provided food and bartering goods for many farm families, and during World War II, the War Food Administration urged beekeepers to conserve every ounce of beeswax their bees provided, as more than a million pounds a year were being used in the manufacture of war products ranging from waterproofing products to tape. The bee remains a bellwether in modern America. Like so many other insects and animals, the bee population was decimated by the growing use of chemical pesticides in the 1970s. Nevertheless, beekeeping has experienced a revival as natural products containing honey and beeswax have increased the visibility and desirability of the honey bee. Still a powerful representation of success, the industrious honey bee continues to serve both as a source of income and a metaphor for globalization as America emerges as a leader in the Information Age.

Download or read book Emily Dickinson and Hymn Culture written by Victoria N. Morgan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extending the critical discussion which has focused on the hymns of Isaac Watts as an influence on Emily Dickinson's poetry, this study brings to bear the hymnody of Dickinson's female forbears and contemporaries and considers Isaac Watts's position as a Dissenter for a fuller understanding of Dickinson's engagement with hymn culture. Victoria N. Morgan argues that the emphasis on autonomy in Watts, a quality connected to his position as a Dissenter, and the work of women hymnists, who sought to redefine God in ways more compatible with their own experience, posing a challenge to the hierarchical 'I-Thou' form of address found in traditional hymns, inspired Dickinson's adoption of hymnic forms. As she traces the powerful intersection of tradition and experience in Dickinson's poetry, Morgan shows Dickinson using the modes and motifs of hymn culture to manipulate the space between concept and experience-a space in which Dickinson challenges old ways of thinking and expresses her own innovative ideas on spirituality. Focusing on Dickinson's use of bee imagery and on her notions of religious design, Morgan situates the radical re-visioning of the divine found in Dickinson's 'alternative hymns' in the context of the poet's engagement with a community of hymn writers. In her use of the fluid imagery of flight and community as metaphors for the divine, Dickinson anticipates the ideas of feminist theologians who privilege community over hierarchy.

Excerpt: ... so that very large supplies were sent to distant hives where machines were not in use. These exportations were considered by the legislatores as undoubted proofs of prosperity: and when it was urged upon them that the workers, the great majority of the bees, could not be benefited by exportation, they turned a deaf ear to the complaint, and still exultingly pointed to the stream of honey issuing rapidly from the hiveb. But there were periods when honey and wax would become scarce in consequence of foreign orders, and labour would then be in demand; so that the workers perceived they were treated like inanimate beings, to be used or laid aside according to the exigencies of the times. As in seasons of abundance they were b " One great and common error, amidst a multitude of other errors, is the confounding the people with the government. The people are supposed to be happy whensoever the government prospers. Instead of keeping in view the good of individuals, nothing is considered but the growth and duration of empires, --as if the public prosperity and the general felicity were two inseparable matters."--Chatelur on Public Happiness, vol. i. p. 41.
