Bees in June by Elizabeth Bass Parman

 

Rennie expected her marriage to last despite opposition from those close to her. Tiny swept her off her feet but turned out to be a bully, not supportive of her in her darkest moments after she lost her baby and then became physically abusive when he was frustrated in his own ambitions.

Her fall back was her frail uncle Dixon. She and he were alike in spirit with a close affinity to animals and especially the bees from the hives. Dixon and Rennie  both believed that the bees were protective of their own, not just watching over them, but guarding and even letting them know of dangers that were lying in their path.

Fanciful though this may sound, the story convinces you that there is still much that humans do not comprehend. Maybe we should accept the fact that some people are blessed with different blessings to decipher things not visible to all.

This was a feel good book, despite the dark interludes and identified that good will prevail.
