Her evocative writing brings each bee's story (and her own) to life."" —Olivia Messinger Carril, coauthor of The Bees in Your Backyard ""When Krystle Hickman talks bees, I listen. This book is a stunning portrait of the landscape around us, and then Krystle draws us in closer to a macro look at the overlooked, diverse, gorgeous, fascinating bees that deserve our attention and awe. As readers, we are so lucky to experience these creatures' stories through her eyes and words."" —Alie Ward, host of the Ologies podcast
