I dipped into this book this morning. I had a country childhood, but my wilds now are the tree in our suburban front yard. #riotgrams #booksinthewild

As a commercial beekeeper, it was certainly my business to kill the old queen and replace her with a vigorous new one so that the colony would become a good honey producer.
But I did not.
I decided to use today's #SeasonsReadings2016 to challenge myself to find something that's not a children's book, graphic novel, or coffee table book. I came up with Hubbell's memoir about living in rural Missouri, keeping bees and finding solace in nature after the dissolution of her marriage. From bees and birds to water rights and opossums, this is a straight up LOVELY nature memoir, and Hubbell's sister illustrates it. #bookwithpictures
