Love this article. I was dismantling a beehive two days ago and now seeing the experience in a totally different light. I can confirm that it looks pretty similar to what Borges describes.

Ah that makes me very jealous, I find beehives magical (though not as a model for human dwellings!). I take it you've seen Sylvia Plath's beekeeping poems. Wonderful.

PS I've got myself a copy of Lead Us Into Temptation now. Looking forward to it.
