Thursday Afternoon Book Discussion

"The Honey Bus" by Meredith May

Do you have afternoons available? Join us at the library for some coffee, confections, and conversation about the titles book club members have picked!

World Bee Day is May 20th, so why not read something sweet to go with it...

"An extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather and one of nature’s most mysterious and beguiling the honeybee. Meredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. She was five years old, her parents had recently split and suddenly she found herself in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus in the yard. That first close encounter was at once terrifying and exhilarating for May, and in that moment she discovered that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees. The bees became a guiding force in May’s life, teaching her about family and community, loyalty and survival and the unequivocal relationship between a mother and her child. Part memoir, part beekeeping odyssey, The Honey Bus is an unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual of places, and how a tiny, little-understood insect could save a life."
