1. The author of Bees is a famous French entomologist, Bourne, who created the famous Insect Tale.
second, Jean Henri Casimir Fabre (1823 ~1915) was a famous French entomologist, animal behaviorist and writer. Known by the world as "Homer in the insect world" and "Virgil in the insect world". Fabres was born in a farmhouse in Saint Leon, Provence, southern France. In the following years, Fabres spent time in the home of his grandparents in Malaval, not far from the village. At that time, he was attracted by the lovely insects such as butterflies and fireflies in the countryside.
In p>1857, he published Observations on the Habits of the Arthropoda, which corrected the wrong view of Leon dufour, the founder of entomology at that time, and thus won the praise of the French Institute and was awarded the Experimental Physiology Award. During this period, Fabres also devoted his energy to the study of natural dye madder or alizarin. At that time, the red color on French soldiers' army trousers came from the powder of madder.
in p>1859, Fabres obtained three patents for this kind of research. Later, at the invitation of Victor Duluy, Minister of Education, Fabres was in charge of the organization and teaching of an adult night school, but its free teaching method caused some people's dissatisfaction. So, he quit his job and settled down in Orange with his family, and lived there for more than ten years. In this more than ten years, Fabres completed the first volume of the ten-volume Insect. During this period, he went to Wandu Mountain with his friends many times to collect plant specimens. In addition, he also met the British philosopher Mill, but Mill died young, which made their previous plan "Vakruz Vegetation Grand View" die. At the same time, a great misfortune befell Fabres: of his six children, Jules, the only son who shared his father's interests and loved observing nature, died at the age of sixteen. Since then, Fabres has dedicated several plants he discovered to Jules who died young to express his memory. The study of fungi has always been one of Fabres's hobbies.
in p>1878, he wrote many wonderful academic articles on the theme of Vacruzzi's fungi. His research on Kuai Zi is also very detailed, and his fragrance is described in detail. Gourmets claim that they can taste all the flavors described in his works from the real Kuai Zi.
in p>1879, Fabres bought the barren stone garden in Ang, Cellini, and lived there until his death. This is a barren land, but it is a favorite land for insects. Apart from living for his family, there are also his study, studio and testing ground, which can make him concentrate on thinking quietly and devote himself wholeheartedly to various observations and experiments. It can be said that this is the world he has always dreamed of. It was here that Fabres, while observing and experimenting, sorted out the observation notes, experimental records and scientific notes on insects in the first half of his life, and completed the last nine volumes of Insects. Today, this former residence has become a museum, quietly located in a botanical garden with a strong Provencal style.
Fabres insisted on self-study for half his life, and successively obtained a bachelor's degree, a bachelor's degree in mathematics, a bachelor's degree in natural science and a doctor's degree in natural science. He was proficient in Latin and Greek and loved the works of Horace, an ancient Roman writer, and Virgil, a poet. He was almost self-taught in painting and watercolor painting, and many exquisite illustrations of fungi left by him were praised by Nobel Prize in Literature winner and French poet Frederic mistral. In his later years, Fabres's success in Insects won him the reputation of "Homer of Insects" and "Virgil of Insects", and his achievements were widely recognized by the society. Although Fabres has won many scientific titles, he is still as simple as ever, shy and humble, and leads a poor life. His talent was admired by scholars at that time, including British biologist Darwin, Belgian playwright maeterlinck, winner of Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, German writer Junger, French philosopher Bergson, poet Malamei, Provence writer Rumanier and so on. Because Fabres's experiments were accurately recorded in Insect Tale, and many secrets of insect life and living habits were uncovered, Darwin called Fabres an "observer that cannot be imitated". When he lived in Ang, Cellini, many scholars and writers visited him in succession. Fabres had received Pasteur, British philosopher Mill and other scholars in his own residence, but his correspondence with them was not frequent. Victor Duluy, Minister of Education, recommended Fabres to Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte, who awarded him the Medal of Honor. Raymond Poincare, a French politician, made a detour to pay his respects to him by way of Ang, Cellini. Fabres's works with multiple identities are various: as a naturalist, he left many academic works on animals and plants, including Fine Grass: Patents and Papers, Animals in avignon, Cuckoo, Agaricus Campestris on the Olive Tree, Grape Root Aphid, etc. As a teacher, he has written many chemical physics textbooks; As a poet, he wrote many poems in Provence language in southern France, and was affectionately called "Gadfly Poet" by the local people. In addition, he translated the works of some Provencal poets into French. In his spare time, he also used his small mouth to compose some ditties. However, among Fabres's works, The Insect is the longest, the most important and the most well-known one. This work not only shows his talent and literary talent in scientific observation and research, but also conveys his humanistic spirit and incomparable love for life to readers.
