From the rising and setting of the Pleiades, from sunrise to sunset, the bee and the sun work in harmony, a miracle of nature, growth, and new life. Beneath the shifting constellations, equinoxes, and solstice markers, as the bee progresses from plant to flower, acclaimed artist Catherine Hyde pays tribute to the magic and mystery of nature.

Snippets of ancient bee beliefs and plant folklore are complemented by paintings of wild thyme, saffron, meadow sweet, basil, mallow, lavender, and many more delights. A book to treasure, and an ode to the wonder of nature.

'This is a treasure... Such a celebration of the wheel of the year' --JACKIE MORRIS, CILIP Kate Greenaway winner of The Lost Words, on The Hare and the Moon
