I read another gem this week:
The Sacred Bee in Ancient Times and Folklore - By Hilda M. Ransome
If you are into bees, and enjoy folklore, this book is for you.
Did you know that the symbol for the Pharoahs of the Lower Nile was the honeybee?
Did you know that some historians speculated that Egyptians may have gotten the idea of mummification from observing bees?
This book is loaded with storys, illustrations and scholarly speculation about how ancient civiliations including the Egyptians, Greeks, Babylonians, Chinese, Mayans, etc. perceived and, in most case, revered honeybees.
