Book Review of

"Being: Life, Motherhood, and 180,000 Honey Bees "

Being: Life, Motherhood, and 180,000 Honey Bees by Rosanne Daryl Thomas is a poignant story of a mother who finds herself divorced and struggling to raise her daughter in a new town. Seeking to bring order into their lives, the author and her daughter embark on the adventure of becoming beekeepers. It is an enchanting peek into their lives and the beauty they discover in watching the hard working worker bees.

The author's voice is lyrical. Her references to literature and her hilarious anecdotes make this book an enchanting and charming read. Both new beekeepers and old timers will shake their head and laugh in amusement. The old timers because they know they had made some of the same mistakes and enjoyed the same wonders; the beginners, because through Ms. Thomas they now know what to avoid and what to look forward to.
