Book Reviews of The Queen Must Die: And Other Affairs of Bees and Men
Book Review: A gently witty ode to beekeeping and bees
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book two years ago and continue to savor it. Longgood spins a yarn of the four seasons of the bees, telling about his beginnings as a beekeeper and the changing "personna" of the hive. And the rare but inevitable times the Queen bee must die to save the hive. I continue to recommend this book to anyone who is even remotely interested in beekeeping, nature, gardening, or just contemplating life. His gardening book "Voices from the Earth" is also a treasure
