I found out about this book from a podcast I was listening to while my roommate drove us across Wyoming. I knew it would be interesting but I was not looking forward to how depressing it would have to be. It‘s a balanced book of portraits of beekeepers, some light science, some light history. It reads like a long magazine article. The book sheds light in an accessible way on many of the assorted reasons for the imported honey bee‘s challenges.
