Historia de las abejas

In England in 1852, William, a naturalist and seed merchant not in his prime, struggles to develop an entirely new type of hive that will earn him and his children fame and respect. George is a beekeeper from the United States who in 2007 hopes that his son, his university student, will continue with the sacrificed family business. In the China of the year 2098, where the bees have disappeared and with them the world as it was known, Tao is dedicated to manual pollination, with the desire to give his son a better life than hers. Maja Lunde unfolds in this ambitious novel an extensive canvas where, at the same time she shows the first and humble attempts of the human being in the field of beekeeping, today's industrial beekeeping and a future in which these insects will have completely extinguished, it also explores with subtlety and depth family relationships, development and the environment.
