A Short History of the Honey Bee

humans, flowers, and bees in the eternal
chase for honey
Images by Ilona
Text by E. Readicker-Henderson

A Short History of the Honey Bee starts with the story of

the honey bee—why it is named Apis mellifera, how it
has evolved from a solitary creature to one that travels in
groups, why it stings, and how pollination really works.
Readicker-Henderson then moves on to the honey,
detailing its history from a wild food foraged for on cliffs
to the many varieties available for purchase today.

Ilona is renowned for her close-up work of flowers and

nature. Her book Fleurish was honored with a Lucie
International Photography Award in 2006.
