Description:This novel tells the story of four dedicated beekeepers - Maida, Alexander, Billie, and Henry - with very diverse upbringings and backgrounds who join forces to thwart the construction of a planned pesticide factory to be built on the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. The book is particularly relevant to the recent decline of bees and the public's awareness of the vital role that honeybees play in the pollination of so many of the world's crops, fruits, and vegetables. The Bee Catchers cleverly weaves interesting tidbits about bees and the ecosystem into the action of the story, which coincide with the characters' life events, struggles, and triumphs in a "non-preachy" way. There is even a happy ending worthy of Jane Austen at the end of the story! The Bee Catchers has been compared to The Shipping News by Annie Proulx. After reading the novel, readers will have a brand-new appreciation for the vital role that honeybees play in feeding America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
