Nick's Non-fiction

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz In an exuberantly poetic work that is less about bees and more about life, beekeeper Maurice Maeterlinck expresses his philosophy of the human condition. The renowned Belgian poet and dramatist offers brilliant proof in this, his most popular work, that "no living creature, not even man, has achieved in the center of his sphere, what the bee has achieved." From their amazingly intricate feats of architecture to their intrinsic sense of self-sacrifice, Maeterlinck takes a "bee's-eye view" of the most orderly society on Earth.
