The Beekeeper's Lament: How One Man and Half a Billion Honey Bees Help Feed America by Hannah Nordhaus
3.0
Interesting book. I had only a vague idea of how beekeeping worked (I didn't even know they traveled) and I only knew the conspiracy theories about why the bees are dying (apparently, it's not cell phones but a lot of different reasons).
I love nonfiction books that are told by an interloper, that is either learning about the subject along with the reader, or telling the reader about their adventures in learning about it. In this case it was the latter.
If you want to know the ins and outs of what it's like to be a beekeeper, the tough work and the romance of the open road, then this might be one to pick up.
