I liked the different perspectives (Tao, George and Wiliam) and the overarching theme of parent-child relationship. Lunde touched an important subject, but I found parts of her writing could still be improved in terms of character portrayals.

Je l'ai pris au début car le titre m'intriguait, je ne pensais pas y trouver une histoire aussi touchante. Ou plutôt trois histoires qui s'entrelacent, comment le rêve d'un fini par changer le monde.
This book will definitely stick with me for a while!
First off is the obvious contemplation about life without bees. Who will succumb and who will survive when food is limited in first world nations? How will governments react? This book made me think, but only broadly touches on these subjects.
The second level it hit me on was the storyline. A mom's search for her son, a dad's desire to connect with his son, a man's crippling depression as he realizes his life took some unexpected turns. I found all the characters to be well developed and didn't think any of the storylines dragged at all.
I'm looking forward to reading more by Maja Lunde!

Biernes Historie er en roman omhandlende tre personer i tre forskellige tidsperioder og steder i verden. William i 1850'erne med sin familie og hans arbejde med de nye bikuber i England, George i 2007 som biavler ved starten af CCD i USA og Tao i 2098 som er håndbestøver i Kina. Man følger dem og får efterhånden også et forhold til deres familie og relationerne. Denne bog handler ikke blot bierne, men i stor grad også om familie og relationer.

This is a pretty damn good book, and unlike the title may suggest, you do not need to know about bees for this to be a solid read. Does a great job of intertwining three different story lines in a way in which they link without being dependent upon one another.
Definitely worth a read.
