QueenSpotting: Meet the Remarkable Queen Bee and Discover the Drama at the Heart of the Hive; Includes 48 Queenspotting Challenges

At the heart of every bee hive is a queen bee. Since her well-being is linked to the well-being of the entire colony, the ability to find her among the residents of the hive is an essential beekeeping skill. In QueenSpotting, experienced beekeeper and professional â€œswarm catcherâ€ Hilary Kearney challenges readers to â€œspot the queenâ€Â with 48 fold-out visualÂ puzzles â€” vivid up-close photos of the queen hidden among her many subjects.

QueenSpotting celebrates the unique, fascinating life of the queen bee and chroniclesÂ royal hive happenings such as The Virgin Death Match, The Nuptual Flight â€” when the queen mates with a cloud of male drones high in the air â€” and the dramatic Exodus of the Swarm from the hive. Readers will thrill at Kearneyâ€™s adventures in capturing these swarms from the strange places they settle, including a Jet Ski, a couch, a speed boat, and an owlâ€™s nesting box. Fascinating, fun, and instructive, backyard beekeepers and nature lovers alike will find reason to return to the pages again and again.
