Some time ago, Matthew Loeser, who works with us, came back from Italy
with a really gorgeous little book on bees.  Beautiful illustrations and
transparencies (e.g. one side painted to show the bees entering the
outside of the hive, the other showing the bees entering into the hive).
 
Matt found that an English Version is available in the states.
 
I think this is one of the prettiest bee books that I have seen.
