Goulson  bestselling author of Bee Quest   In the spirit of Station Eleven and Never Let Me Go
this dazzling and ambitious literary debut follows three generations of beekeepers from the
past  present  and future  weaving a spellbinding story of their relationship to the bees - and
to their children and one another - against the backdrop of an urgent  global crisis.   England
1851. William is a biologist and seed merchant  who sets out to build a new type of beehive-one
that will give both him and his children honour and fame.   United States  2007. George is a
beekeeper and fights an uphill battle against modern farming  but hopes that his son can be
their salvation.   China  2098. Tao hand paints pollen onto the fruit trees now that the bees
have long since disappeared. When Tao's young son is taken away by the authorities after a
tragic accident-and is kept in the dark about his whereabouts and condition-she sets out on a
grueling journey to find out what happened to him.   Haunting  illuminating  and deftly written
The History of Bees joins these three very different narratives into one gripping and thought
provoking story that is just as much about the powerful relationships between children and
parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity.
