The Biology of the Honey Bee by Mark L. Winston, Published by Harvard University Press, April 1991, Softcover, (ISBN-10: 9780674074095; ISBN-13: 978-0674074095)
Mark Winston provides rare access to the world of honey bees through this extraordinary insect’s biology. Winston probes the dynamics of the honey bee's social organization. He recreates for us the complex infrastructure of the nest, describes the highly specialized behavior of workers, queens, and drones, and examines in detail the remarkable ability of the honey bee colony to regulate its functions according to events within and outside the nest. Winston integrates into his discussion the results of recent studies, bringing into sharp focus topics of current bee research. These include the exquisite architecture of the nest and its relation to bee physiology; the intricate division of labor and the relevance of a temporal caste structure to efficient functioning of the colony; and, finally, the life-death struggles of swarming, supersedure, and mating that mark the reproductive cycle of the honey bee.

Robbing the Bees: A Biography of Honey--The Sweet Liquid Gold that Seduced the World, by Holley Bishop, Published by Free Press, January 2006, Softcover (ISBN-10: 9780743250221; ISBN-13: 978-0743250221)
Former New York literary agent Bishop buys a Connecticut farmstead, and begins to keep bees, and gains a newfound reverence for nature in the edible form of fresh honey, a passion that now yields this engaging study of the history, science and art of beekeeping. She chronicles humanity's millennia-long expropriation of the bee's gifts of honey, beeswax, pollen and venom to provide food and drink (honey-themed recipes included), nutritional supplements, arthritis remedies and even weapons of war. Tying it all together is a profile of commercial beekeeper Donald Smiley, harvester of tupelo honey in the Florida panhandle.
The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd, Published by Penguin Books, 2002, Hardcover (ISBN-10: 0670894605; ISBN-13: 9780670894604)
During South Carolina in 1964, a time of racial divides, two runaway-fugitives follow a trail that leads them to the home of three bee-keeping sisters. No ordinary women, the sisters revere a Black Madonna and tend a unique brand of female spirituality that reaches back to the time of slavery. In a mesmerizing world of bees and honey, amid the strength and power of wise women, Lily, the main character, journeys through painful secrets and shattering betrayals, finding her way to the single thing her heart longs for most.
