The tragedies of the nest and the idyll of the honey-bee sit side by side in these field papers. John Burroughs writes on birds, their enemies, and the pastoral world of bees with the naturalist's patient eye. Sharp observation dressed in graceful prose. Slow down and see the small dramas playing out in every hedgerow and hive.
