Part family story, part beekeeping odyssey, The Honey Bus is a rich and lyrical memoir of a girl who journeyed into the hive-and found herself. The bees became a guiding force in May's life, teaching her about family and survival, and it was during this pivotal time in May's childhood that she learned to take care of herself. May turned to her grandfather and the art of beekeeping as an escape from her troubled reality.
Everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees. That first close encounter was at once terrifying and exhilarating for May. She was five years old, her parents had recently split and suddenly she found herself in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus in the yard. The Honey Bus is Merediths memoir of growing up in her grandparents home and helping her grandpa with the beekeeping chores. Her mother withdrew from Merediths and her brothers lives following the breakup of her marriage.
Meredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. Meredith May is a beekeeper, journalist and author who grew up in the Big Sur area, along the central California coast. An unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual of places, and how a tiny, little-understood insect could save a life. The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss, Courage, and a Girl Saved by Bees.
