The Mason-Bees

Gelesen von Bellona Times

(4,125 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

This is more than a book about bees and their lives; the author talks about his cats, red ants, and insect psychology in general. Jean Henri Fabre also made waves in his native 19th Century France by insisting that girls be included in his science classes, so I dedicate this recording to certain young women who risk their lives or even the less important attentions of boys simply to learn. - Summary by BellonaTimes (7 hr 28 min)
