The History Of Bees by Maja Lunde
Set across three different timelines, this compelling narrative weaves together the stories of three individuals connected by their relationship with bees. In 1852 England, a biologist struggles to invent a new type of beehive, hoping to secure his family's future. In 2007 Ohio, a beekeeper faces the collapse of his bee colonies, threatening his livelihood and family bonds. Meanwhile, in a dystopian future China, a young mother works as a human pollinator, reflecting on the environmental devastation that has led to the extinction of bees. Through these interconnected tales, the novel explores themes of family, ambition, and the fragile balance between humanity and nature.
