This book was very strange to read because it was about bees. Now I know I knew the book was about bees before I read it, but that didn’t stop it being a strange read.
I think I would have benefitted from knowing more facts about bees before reading - such as bees can reproduce asexually. At times the language used and the writing confused me, and I didn’t always understand what was happening.
It was a fascinating read, I learned a lot about bees… I also now feel pretty guilty about enjoying honey.
