About This Event

Join Exhibition Curator and Engagement Manager Jane Stewart for a guided tour of The Histori of Bees exhibition

Discover the fascinating world of bees, honey, language and books with a free tour.

This summer, The Histori of Bees exhibition invites you to explore a rare and remarkable treasure from our collection: a book published in 1634 titled The Feminin’ Monarchi’, or The Histori of Bees, written by Englishman Charles Butler (1560–1647).

Step into the fascinating world of bees through stories of language, history, music and books.

  • Listen to a madrigal (a piece of music for several singers) inspired by bees.
  • See beekeeping tools and items used by beekeepers from the State Library and Archives of Tasmania collection.
  • View enlarged pages of the tiny book, and try and read the writing.

Curator, and Engagement Manager Jane Stewart will guide you through this beautiful exhibition.
