GEORGE PUBLICATIONS – SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. 10977 Note Though made originally in 1933, this translation gives the essence of what Rudolf Steiner told the workmen at the Goetheanum in answer to their questions. Marna Pease, who died in 1947, brought to our work on this English version an enthusiasm for the Science of the Spirit and a profound knowledge of bee-keeping and bee lore.
