 Pastorius' most important book was his manuscript "Bee Hive," which is now in the University of Pennsylvania's rare book room.It is his commonplace book, which contains poetry, his thoughts on religion and politics, and lists of books he consulted along with excerpts from those books.Also of interest is his "Geographical Description of Pennsylvania", first published under the title, "Umständige geographische Beschreibung der allerletzt erfundenen Provintz Pennsylvania" (1700).
