With three hundred hives, Hubbell stays busy year-round tending to the bees and harvesting their honey, a process that is as personally demanding as it is rewarding. Exploring the progression of both the author and the hive through the seasons, this is \"a book about bees to be sure, but it is also about other things: the important difference between loneliness and solitude; the seasonal rhythms inherent in rural living; the achievement of independence; the accommodating of oneself to nature\" (\u003cem\u003ePhiladelphia Inquirer\u003c\/em\u003e). Beautifully written and full of exquisitely rendered details, it is a tribute to Hubbell's wild hilltop in the Ozarks and of the joys of living a complex life in a simple place.\n\n\u003cem\u003e\n\nIncludes Photographs by Sam Potthoff.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sue Hubbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\/13\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.16\" H x 5.72\" L x 0.52\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780395883242\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51210713104688,"sku":"9780395883242","price":17.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780395883242_7a59791c-4a26-4e8c-ba3c-0b36ce6d1dfc.jpg?v=1774912560","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/a-book-of-bees-sue-hubbell-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
