Randomly saw this 1911 book on bees referenced in the International Intrigue geopolitics newsletter as Indira Gandhi’s favorite. Started to read it, very poetic. Looks like an interesting meditation on swarms vs protocols. Also mildly disturbing that Indira Gandhi liked this book and turned into a dictator. https://www.amazon.com/Life-Bee-Maurice-Maeterlinck/dp/0486451437 https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4511/4511-h/4511-h.htm

Fascinating connection between bees and politics, poetic read with a dark twist. Influence of favorite books on leaders is intriguing
