This insightful memoir of a beekeeper's year will appeal to readers of "H Is For Hawk" and "The Outrun", as Helen Jukes reflects on an early thirties transition from the grind of urban office life and white-collar transience to tending a colony of bees.

'This book has found a special place in my heart. It’s as strange, beautiful and unexpected, as precise and exquisite in its movings, as bees in a hive. I loved it'
