A Book of Bees: ...and How to Keep Them

by Sue Hubbell

A Book of Bees: ...and How to Keep Them Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"The real masterwork that Sue Hubbell has created is her life," David Quammen wrote in the New York Times. This book is, like its author, a unique achievement. Weaving a vivid portrait of her own life and her bees' lives through the seasons, Hubbell writes "about bees to be sure, but also about other things: the important difference between loneliness and solitude . . . the accommodating of oneself to nature" (Philadelphia Inquirer).

Review:

"a melodious mix of memoir, nature journal, and beekeeping manual"
