pickI didn‘t know what to expect with this book, it was a book club pick.
It‘s from the point of view of Flora 717, a sanitation bee in her hive in an orchard. Yes, it‘s from the point of view of a bee, and takes place in a beehive mostly. It‘s fictional, but on googling the bees‘ habits I found a lot of the hive‘s habits and actions are described accurately.
If you can handle strange and you like nature writing, I would recommend this.
AmyG I had such trouble with this one. Hello to the lovely Seitje! 2mo
AlaMich I listened to this on audio and it was a favorite of mine. I thought it was very original and a bit thought-provoking. 2mo

Kimzey I wonder if one of my beekeeping friends would enjoy this? Stacked! 2mo
CoffeeK8 When I get a slump I go to the library and pick out some books on a whim that look interesting OR I read something wildly different. Say I‘m reading a billion romances then I might switch to a True Crime book. 2mo

Soubhiville One of my book club members said this was like Watership Down but with bees, and that‘s pretty accurate. Though WD is a fave of mine and is definitely better in my opinion. 2mo
