A History of Architecture
by Fiske Kimball, George Harold Edgell
1918 · New York : Harper & Brothers Publishers
Originally published in 1949, this amusing and informative little book gives a charming account of an avocation seriously pursued by the author for fifty summers. It provides as well, with clarity and wit, a manual for lovers of nature (and wild honey) who might wish to undertake this ingenious sport. George Harold Edgell sticks his neck out on the first page and says no other book describing the proper approach to wild bees exists. "It is time," he says, "for someone who has hunted bees and found bee trees to write the facts."
