The Hive And Its Wonders is a book published by the American Sunday School Union in 1851. It is a comprehensive guide to the life and behavior of bees, exploring their intricate social structure and the fascinating ways in which they work together to build and maintain their hive.

The second section explores the hive itself, including its construction, ventilation, and the various roles played by different bees within the colony. Later sections of the book delve into the process of honey-making, including the collection and processing of nectar, the creation of wax and honeycomb, and the storage of honey for future use. The book also explores the ways in which bees communicate with one another, through dances and other behaviors. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the remarkable intelligence and cooperation of bees, and their importance to the natural world.
