Tolstoy and the Robber Bees

Tolstoy and the Robber Bees

Season 1 Episode 2: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast - Tolstoy and the Robber Bees

Leo Tolstoy was a beekeeping fanatic. He even managed to work his bees into Anna Karenina, as well as War and Peace. In this episode of About Bees, Culture & Curiosity, we take a shallow dive into deep Russian literature, and look at the conflicted life and death of Tolstoy. Our main focus is the passage from War And Peace after Napoleon enters Moscow and finds, according to Tolstoy, a city defeated and empty. Defeated and empty in the way that a robbed colony of bees is defeated and empty.

We also take a look at what goes on in a typical modern apiary when robbing between hives gets out of hand. Let's go!
