Most books that we get about bees stress the role that they play in nature and their behavior within the hive, and frankly that's what I was expecting from this book. Instead, Burns focuses on manufactured hives and bees on the small farm. We are presented with a particular case of a group that has swarmed and is establishing a new hive in a barn. Through simple prose we learn why it needs to be moved and the careful process used to safely relocate them. It's a more subtle way to teach about bee behavior.
