LIQUID GOLD: BEES AND THE PURSUIT OF MIDLIFE HONEY (HB)

After a chance meeting in the pub, two men decide to take up beekeeping. Their enthusiasm is matched only by their ignorance; they are pitched into an arcane world of unexpected challenges. By standing back from their normal lives and working with the cycle of the seasons, they emerge with a new-found understanding of nature and a respect for the honeybee and the threats it faces. Wryly humorous and surprisingly moving, this is the story of a unlikely friendship between two men at very different stages of their lives.
