The History of Bees: A Novel

The History of Bees: A Novel

â€œImagine The Leftovers, but with honeyâ€ (Elle), and in the spirit of Station Eleven and Never Let Me Go, this â€œspectacular and deeply movingâ€ (Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author) novel follows three generations of beekeepers from the past, present, and future, weaving a spellbinding story of their relationship to the beesâ€”and to their children and one anotherâ€”against the backdrop of an urgent, global crisis.

England, 1852. William is a biologist and seed merchant, who sets out to build a new type of beehiveâ€”one that will give both him and his children honor and fame.

United States, 2007. George is a beekeeper fighting an uphill battle against modern farming, but hopes that his son can be their salvation.

China, 2098. Tao hand paints pollen onto the fruit trees now that the bees have long since disappeared. When Taoâ€™s young son is taken away by the authorities after a tragic accident, she sets out on a grueling journey to find out what happened to him.

Haunting, illuminating, and deftly written, The History of Bees joins â€œthe past, the present, and a terrifying future in a riveting story as complex as a honeycombâ€ (New York Times bestselling author Bryn Greenwood) that is just as much about the powerful bond between children and parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity.
