What a sweet book about Möller’s personal adventures in beekeeping and the folks she met along the way, interspersed with historical and modern knowledge about beekeeping (primarily on the European continent).
This narrative is accompanied by lovely color images, and supports my belief that more books describing scientific content would do well to include artwork, charts, photographs, and other engaging visuals.
This was a simple, pleasant read in the best way. I found myself with many questions after finishing the book, but I suppose it just means I will have to look through Möller’s bibliography.

I receive an audio ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a highly informative and interesting look at bees and the people that have kept bees throughout history. I learned a lot about bees, bee keeping, and bee keepers. I was also surprised that it was such a divisive hobby. The keepers are very passionate about the methods used, the honey collection process, the wintering process, and the type of hives used. I also chuckled every time the Great Tit bird was mentioned. I had no idea that birds eat bees and that they have perfected a method to obtain them from the hives.
My two complaints about this book are that it was so short and seemed to just end abruptly.
