Bee People and the Bugs They Love by Frank Mortimer

2.5

Kind of a flop esp in comparison with other nature essays / beekeeper memoirs floating around. He does not speak kindly about pretty much anyone except his new wife which is a bit of a random and weird plot line ? Definitely reinforces the old curmudgeonly white dude beekeeper stereotype lol
