Philosophies of life in parallel with bees. Well written, touches the gamit, doubt I'll ever pick it up again, but it does make me consider hive-keeping should I have the means.

I read this book as research for my own memoir style writing and to get myself excited about beekeeping. I definitely think that I have a better idea about the lifestyle of beekeeping as well as some new ideas on what and what not to do in my writing.

I enjoyed the parts about bees. The odd interlacings of Hurricane Katrina, Wallace's divorce, her nearly English-speaking dog? I didn't like those parts nearly so much. The authorial voice is warm and friendly, and the writing is workmanlike but didn't strike me as inspired. A pleasant diversion.
