The book explores the lives and behaviors of Mason-bees, focusing on their nesting habits and instinctive behaviors while also delving into experiments conducted by the author to better understand these insects and their psychology. At the start of the work, Fabre introduces his personal experience with the Mason-bee while teaching in a small primary school, describing the classroom's dismal conditions and the boys’ mischievous antics. He recounts how his fascination with the Mason-bees grew as he observed their impressive architectural skills utilizing pebbles and clay, leading him to conduct in-depth studies and experiments on their habits and instincts. In this opening section, he sets the stage for a greater exploration into the lives of these bees, emphasizing his desire to learn about their building techniques and behavior after they caught his attention during a survey class in the fields.
