This program includes a preface read by the author. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern 20th-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

The most joyful emanation produced by a colony of bees is known as the "song of increase" - declaring that the hive is flourishing and the bees are happy in its abundance. Song of Increase takes us inside the world of the honeybee to glean the wisdom of these fascinating creatures with whom humanity has shared a sacred bond for millennia. Within these minutes is a bee-centric approach to living with honeybees, rather than advice for simply maximizing the products they provide.

If you raise animals or work with wood, grow a garden or have an entrepreneurial spirit, you might be a candidate for beekeeping. You'd be surprised at how gentle they can be and at the many places where you can keep bees. In this book, we'll go ahead and discuss the basics of backyard beekeeping. As an example, we'll set up 10 beehives from scratch - that is with packages of bees in the mail, just like what veteran beekeepers did when they were starting out.

Another outstanding twist to Sherlock Holmes
What did you love best about Beekeeping for Beginners?
This book begins by taking the meeting of Holmes and Russell from The Beekeepers Apprentice and tells it from Holmes' perspective, then goes on to events that cemented their relationship and why the Holmes we thought we knew would take this young protege under his wing.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The relationship is cleverly handled without being suspicious or unrealistic. The writing is clever and intelligent, and well-placed in locale and history.
Did Robert Ian Mackenzie do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
No. I was very disappointed in his narration. I frequently felt his attitude did not match the intention of the story, his women's voices are terrible and all of his men sound alike and the mood static. I also have Laurie King's other Holmes/Russell books on Audible, and her narration is nearly perfect, her voices differentiate, even for each of the male characters. I wish they would stop using RIM for some Holmes narration and simply use Jenny Sterlin for everything.
Any additional comments?
I recommend any of the books in the series to anyone who is a Holmes fan and looking for a good, clever, imaginative work.

Delightful!
Laurie R King's restrained yet engaging writing dovetails so beautifully with the original Sherlock Holmes books. This short story retells part of the first book in the Mary Russell series in which Holmes meets Mary. The narrator, Robert Ian MacKenzie, is as skillful as the wonderful Jenny Sterlin in capturing the essence of the characters and story, and is an excellent choice since the entire story is from Holmes point of view. Additional details are included which provide a fresh slant and insight into the Holmes character and his relationship with Mary Russell. My only complaint is that it is only a short story - - how I wished for more!!

A good 'short'.
The other side of the story told in 'Beekeepers Aprentice'. I found Macenzie's voice deper than I 'hear' myself from both LR King's and Doyle's description which blunted my enthusiasm lightly but it is well read and fills in details hinted at in the 1st book beutifully.
