    A bike bee

    Agate presents its current favorite.
    New titles will soon join Agate's collections, books, images and magazines. One of them, C. Arnould's "Calendar of the Beekeeper" published in 1908, offers beautiful and humorous illustrations. Our favourite is this cycling bee, a mode of transport so fashionable at the beginning of the 20th century when this book was published.
