About this listen

Expert beekeeper and swarm-catcher Hilary Kearney offers a unique window into the social lives and biology of these remarkable creatures

Listeners will be awestruck by the hive as superorganism and how the individual bee lives and behaves within it, perfectly suited to each specific job it performs. From their intricate dances and information-rich pheromones to how they sense and respond to their environment, learn, and remember, this immersive journey into the world of bees offers an entirely new perspective on the wisdom of nature and our relationship to it.

I love this audiobook! I have listened and read many books about bees as I learned to be a beekeeper but this one is by far the best! I love that it’s narrated by the author who clearly loves bees and knows the behavior of bees. She explains the nature and habits of these remarkable insects that make you feel like you are inside the hive and mind of the bee.

Fun and Informative
