HTML:<p><b>"Integrates history, technology, sociology, economics, and politics with this remarkable insect serving as the unifying concept" (<i>Buffalo News</i>).</b><br /> <br /> The tiny, industrious honey bee has become part of popular imagination—reflected in our art, our advertising, even our language itself with such terms as <i>queen bee</i> and <i>busy as a bee</i>. Honey bees—and the values associated with them—have influenced American culture for four centuries. Bees and beekeepers have represented order and stability throughout the changes, challenges, and expansions of a highly diverse country.<br /> <br /> <i>Bees in America</i> is an enlightening cultural history of bees and beekeeping in the United States. Tammy Horn, herself a beekeeper, offers a social and technological history from the colonial period, when the British first brought bees to the New World, to the present, when bees are being trained by the American military to detect bombs. Horn shows how the honey bee was one of the first symbols of colonization and how bees' societal structures shaped our ideals about work, family, community, and leisure. This book is both a fascinating read and an "excellent example of the effects agriculture has on history" (<i>Booklist</i>).<br /> <br /> "A wealth of worthy material." —<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p>.
