Single mother Rosanne Daryl Thomas and her young daughter August move to a small New England town. On a whim, Thomas says she might take up beekeeping, and her daughter becomes so excited and proud of her that she can’t back out. After a good grounding in the practice from the "Bee Master" and help from locals intrigued by a novice woman beekeeper, Thomas also finds herself embracing a mysterious world she never dreamed of. This memoir of her newfound relationship with nature mingles science with mythology, wonder with humility, and motherly devotion with a search for untried possibilities.
"Warm and funny, Beeing is a charming memoir of a year of discovery.... Thomas's enchantment with her bees is infectious and stirs in the reader that childish sense of wonder that too often lies dormant in adult hearts."—Intermezzo
