The History of Bees follows three generations of beekeepers from the past, present, and future; weaving a spellbinding story of their relationship to the bees (as well as to their children and one another) against the backdrop of an urgent, global crisis . . . 

Haunting, illuminating, and deftly written, The History of Bees joins the past, the present, and a terrifying future in a riveting story as complex as a honeycomb that is just as much about the powerful bond between children and parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity.

"Lunde has elegantly woven together a tale of science and science fiction, dystopia and hope, and the trials of the individual and the strengths of family." -- Lisa See, bestselling author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, and The Island of Sea Women
