"The real masterwork that Sue Hubbell has created is her life," David Quammen wrote in the New York Times. This book is, like its author, a unique achievement. Weaving a vivid portrait of her own life and her bees' lives through the seasons, Hubbell writes "about bees to be sure, but also about other things: the important difference between loneliness and solitude . . . the accommodating of oneself to nature" (Philadelphia Inquirer).

reviewed A Book of Bees: And How to Keep Them on March 02, 2017 A Book of Bees
This short book following the author's life and work as a beekeeper in the Ozarks in the late 1980s is a delight, sharply capturing the place and time and details of everyday life and the rhythms of the seasons with a smooth, easy to read narrative voice and clear explanations of the author's beekeeping process. There is an extensive glossary as well that took up nearly 40% of my ebook edition.
A strength of the book was the awareness that things change too- the short afterword relates changes in the author's life after the year she recorded, and kept the book feeling very specific to a person in a place and time rather than some platonic ideal of beekeeping. I definitely want to check out some of Hubbell's other books, and am disappointed that only this and one other are currently available in ebook.
