The title of the book comes from a poem by Emily Dickinson. This is a lovely collection of poems related to bees, the people who help them, and the environment. There are many days when I sit outside and watch the bees after a seed pod opens on a palm tree. They dance among the flowers gathering nectar for the hive.
The editor recommends reading this book outside while enjoying the bees. I completely agree with him. If you love bees, and who doesn’t, and poetry, you may enjoy reading these poems.
