Description

As the world’s honeybees disappear, a family-owned apiary struggles to keep up with overseas demand. Driven by matriarch Joan’s iron will, the business continues to grow. And then Melissa arrives out of the blue.

The Honey Bees is a tale of family and empire; action and consequences; and what happens when the bee finally stings.
