Heart of the Hive by Hilary Kearney

4.7 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

A beautifully written, educational style book, with vivid photos and dripping with intriguing facts about these fascinating creatures. I’ll never see honey bees the same!

So why this book? 

Bees offer a powerful reflection of harmony, community, and purpose, reminding us that healing often comes from connection, intentional work, and honoring our role in the greater whole. Their rhythms and resilience inspire us to slow down, listen to nature, and rediscover the sweetness in life while also revealing the nourishing, healing benefits of raw honey as a natural alternative to refined sugar.

The Review:

In a world where so many humans struggle to figure out what to do with our lives, where we add value, and where we fit in, honey bees seem to have it all figured out, with an innate inner knowing and natural progression throughout their career. The amount of sacrifices and hard work this hive mind performs, is admirable, as they work together and trust each other in ways that’s hard for us to conceive. Everything from the construction of the hive, to raising their future queens, they have life down to a science.

It’s truly amazing to think how 9,000 years of kinship has influenced Agriculture, architecture, religion, medicine and more - across all but 1 continents.

Thanks to NetGalley, Storey Publishing, and Hilary Kearny for providing me with a complimentary ARC to review!
