Fun and Informative

I love this audiobook! I have listened and read many books about bees as I learned to be a beekeeper but this one is by far the best! I love that it’s narrated by the author who clearly loves bees and knows the behavior of bees. She explains the nature and habits of these remarkable insects that make you feel like you are inside the hive and mind of the bee.

Great presentation of useful insights

I’m listening to the information for the third time and I am still enjoying this book.
