The Secret Life of Bees

I read The Secret Life of Bees today. It was a good book. If nothing else, makes me want to follow up on her references to books on bees: The Dancing Bees by Karl Von Frisch, The Honey Bee by James L. Gould and Carol Grant Gould, The Queen Must Die: And Other Affairs of Bees and Men by William Longgood, Man and Insects by L. H. Newman, Bees of the World by Christopher O'Toole and Anthony Raw, and Exploring the World of Social Insects by Hilda Simon.
