BEE AND THE SUN: A CALENDAR OF PAINTINGS (HB)

Catherine Hyde follows the journey of the bee and the sun in a calendar of glorious full-colour paintings that celebrate the sensory delights of herbs, seasoned with bee and plant lore. 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. 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.
