In his life-work Naturalis Historia, Pliny the Elder describes the first observations on bees. He mentions beehives enhanced with parts of mica in the cork hives, in order to observe the working of the bees. | In his life-work Naturalis Historia, Pliny the Elder describes the first observations on bees.

The Natural History (Naturalis Historia) is an encyclopedia published circa AD 77–79 by Pliny the Elder. It is one of the largest single works to have survived from the Roman Empire to the modern day and purports to cover the entire field of ancient knowledge, based on the best authorities available to Pliny. He claims to be the only Roman ever to have undertaken such a work. The work became a model for all later encyclopedias in terms of the breadth of subject matter examined, the need to reference original authors, and a comprehensive index list of the contents. It is the only work by Pliny to have survived and the last that he published, lacking a final revision at his sudden and unexpected death in the AD 79 eruption of Vesuvius. | The Natural History (Naturalis Historia) is an encyclopedia published circa AD 77–79 by Pliny the Elder.
