SilversReviews @Jess7 I didn‘t read the book...I just chose a title with bumble bees in it. Sorry. 6y
Jess7 Oh gotcha! @SilversReviews - a lot of people are into raising bumble bees these days. I could never do it. Too afraid of getting stung. Makes me think of a book I recent read where one of the main characters gets stung on her eye ball when her husband raises bees as a hobby! 6y
