The History of Bees by Maja Lunde
3.0

I liked this one.

It follows 3 different people - past, present(ish), and future - and the history of bees. 🐝 🍯

While I wouldn’t solely classify it as a dystopian novel, it does paint a fairly grim picture of what could happen to our world without the help of these little guys.

I loved how the writer wove these three time periods together by the end of the book. I found myself interested in each of the 3 narratives, though I found it a little annoying that their voices all sounded the same.

The writing style is simple, yet impactful. There were a few lulls, but by the end of the book, every piece was important. 🐝🌈🌺
