The Story of Aristaeus and His Bees is a literary work by the ancient Roman poet Virgil, originally written in Latin and first published in 1870.

The story follows Aristaeus as he attempts to regain the favor of the gods and restore the bees to the world, ultimately leading him on a journey to the underworld. Along the way, he encounters various obstacles and challenges, including the wrath of the goddess Eurydice, who seeks revenge for the death of her husband Orpheus.
