Robbing the Bees by Holley Bishop


As Michael Pollan says, this book is a "delicious reading experience." I loved every moment. Who knew of all the remedies and healing power of such a sweet product made by such a short lived insect. If you don't before you read it, then surely when you are finished reading this book you will respect the bee like Mother Nature's own daughter.
But it's not just a boring informative narrative, it really is an up close look at the beekeeper and the bees themselves. And when you are done you just must, must, must order some Tupelo honey and languish in it's slow stickiness all over your favorite bread.
