Description:
The fascination that bees have on the human being has long been: they have always been admired for their remarkable social and architectural capabilities and have been associated with symbolic meanings. However, the cultural image of these animals has evolved over time: from the incarnation of virtue and civility to the political analogies that were established in antiquity, from the Renaissance debates on the monarchy to the current studies of the behavior of these animals, with conclusions applicable to our own socialization and the use of technologies. Claire Preston shows the role of these animals in art, politics and social thought, citing scientific studies and literary and historical texts.
