The History of Bees

It is always such a joy when the story itself is just as beautiful as the cover. I am happy to report that this is the case for History of Bees. It is told over three different generations and their stories are woven together so masterfully.
Bees are becoming endangered and this book highlights their importance, and it is eyeopening to read about the devastation that would occur in our world if bees were to become extinct.
I thought that it was interesting that all three of our protagonists are parents, and there is a large focus on their relationships with their children. It deals a lot with parental expectations, and how rocky and fragile that relationship can be.
The pacing can be slow at times, which is something I tend to enjoy, but I know it is not for everyone. The ending is so fantastic and I was more than satisfied when I put the book down.
