I would be curious as to what their source is for this "bestiary". People have been doing beekeeping since prehistory, and presumably those motherfuckers knew that the bees weren't being born from oxen or whatever.
I could believe that something like this might have been written by a monk who never ventured outside, however.

There are sources on the full page and yes it's monks because I think they were one of the few that were taught literacy? (correct me if I'm wrong)
Also how funny would it be if the monk went and asked farmers how bees worked and the farmers told him this as a joke?
