The Behavior of the Honey Bee in Pollen Collecting by D. B. Casteel audiobook.

Genre: science

In The Behavior of the Honey Bee in Pollen Collecting, D. B. Casteel offers a clear, observation-driven study of how worker honey bees locate, gather, and manage pollen - the protein-rich resource that fuels brood rearing and colony growth. Moving from the hive outward into the field, Casteel follows the forager's work step by step: how bees choose among blooming plants, how they loosen and pack pollen onto specialized body structures, and how the familiar pollen loads are formed and carried back to the colony. Along the way, the book examines the signals and practical constraints that shape pollen foraging, including floral traits, weather, time of day, and the needs of the brood nest, and it distinguishes pollen collecting from nectar foraging in both purpose and technique. Written to connect careful natural history with useful insight, the study highlights what these behaviors mean for beekeeping, crop pollination, and the broader relationship between insects and flowering plants. The result is a focused introduction to the mechanics and logic of pollen collection, inviting listeners to see a common backyard insect as a finely tuned biological system.

The Island of Appledore by Cornelia Meigs audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Any one who knows the coast of New England will know also the Island of Appledore and just where it lies. Such a person can tell you that it is not exactly the place described in this book, that it is small and bare and rocky with no woods, no meadows, no church, or mill, or mill-creek road. Perhaps all that the story tells of it that is true is that there the rocks give forth their strange deep song, “the calling of Appledore,” as warning of a storm, that there the poppies bloom as nowhere else in the world, that there the surf comes rolling in, day in and day out, the whole year through, and that there one’s memory turns back with longing, no matter how many years of absence have gone by. There, also, you can sit for hours to watch the huge, green breakers come foaming and tumbling in endless procession up the stony beach; you can watch the nimble sandpipers and the tireless, wheeling gulls; and if you choose you can spin for yourself just such a story as this one of Billy Wentworth and Captain Saulsby and Sally Shute, a tale of mysteries and perils and midnight adventures on the shores of Appledore.

Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence audiobook.

Genre: drama

Women in Love is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence published in 1920. It is a sequel to his earlier novel The Rainbow (1915), and follows the continuing loves and lives of the Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula. Gudrun Brangwen, an artist, pursues a destructive relationship with Gerald Crich, an industrialist. Lawrence contrasts this pair with the love that develops between Ursula and Rupert Birkin, an alienated intellectual who articulates many opinions associated with the author. The emotional relationships thus established are given further depth and tension by an unadmitted homoerotic attraction between Gerald and Rupert. The novel ranges over the whole of British society at the time of the First World War and eventually ends high up in the snows of the Swiss Alps.
