There were countless lessons nestled within the pages of this book – on life, forgiveness, grief, and bees. While reading, I constantly stopped to tell my husband something that I had learned in the book and his response was “you must love this story because you keep interrupting your reading to tell me about it”. Yes.. yes, I did love it. ⁣⁣

If you don’t have this book on your reading list, please add it. (Link to purchase) It’s a story that will stay with me for a long time and also gave me a great appreciation for the little honeybees buzzing around my backyard this morning. 🐝⁣⁣
