Schnurrdiburr Oder Die Bienen. Deutsch & English. MobileRead Edition.

This is a story in comical pictures and rhyme, in which the bees are humanized. The human characters find themselves in many strange and silly, and sometimes scary, situations.

I’ll sing of Johnny Dull: his pig,
Made by his bees exceeding big;
And of his daughter fair Christine,
Of her lover Dicky Dean,
And of his nephew rogue Eugene—
Of honey-robbers I will tell,
And bears, and bull-frogs, ghosts as well.

Wilhelm Busch spent part of his childhood with his uncle, George Klein, who was a clergyman and an experienced beekeeper, and incorporated numerous natural history facts in this story.
