Beeing - Life, Motherhood and 180,000 Honeybees
by: Thomas, Rosanne Daryl
A warm and engaging memoir of beekeeping. Post-husband, pre-rest-of-life,
the author and her 7 year old daughter move to a small New England town.
When, on a whim, she decides to take up beekeeping, her daughter is so
proud of her that she can't back out - no matter how bumbling and unprepared
she is. Thomas learns much from the Bee Master and other locals intrigued
by a novice woman beekeeper who needs their help - at first. As she finds
her courage, Thomas also finds herself embracing a life she never dreamed
of. Entering the mysterious world of bees, she beings a relationship with
nature that mingles science with mythology, wonder with humility and motherly
devotion with a search for new ways of seeing and untried possibilities.
She learns that beekeeping, like life, can never be completely mastered.
There is always room to make another mistake, and with each mistake comes
an opportunity. Along the way, she gets her share of stings, some honey
- and, perhaps, a little wiser. 228 pages
