About this deal

They would almost certainly have faced a professional and legal whirlwind, stigmatised for their love, with drastic consequences. Part of me wants to conclude there is no intellectual or metaphorical basis for Flora’s actions, but everything else in the text, the marketing, the motto of the bees ( ACCEPT, OBEY, SERVE) screams ‘DYSTOPIA’.

If you aren’t thrown off by those “oddities,” you will find this an entertaining tale with some well thought out insights into the life of the behive. The musical's book is written by Lynn Nottage, with music by Duncan Sheik and lyrics by Susan Birkenhead.An excellent book from the Collins New Naturalist Series, although not to be used as an identification guide. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that I could not understand why Charlie's mom kissed the doctor.

Living to accept, obey and serve, she is prepared to sacrifice everything for her beloved holy mother, the Queen. He studied graphic design at the Berkshire College of Art, and since leaving in 1971 has specialised in natural-history illustration. The film adaptation (directed by Annabel Jankel, script by Henrietta and Jessica Ashworth) captures much of the spirit of the novel, with expressive performances from Holliday Grainger and Anna Paquin.I mean, on the one hand, I’m so glad something like this — so weird and weird and just weird — can be published. FlowerScapes also supplies specialist bee and butterfly seed mixes for parks and gardens, road verges, amenity land and agricultural field margins. I also agree with other critics of this book - this is not merely about bees, but seems to be a poor metaphor of humanity. This establishes the pattern for the rest of Flora’s life, that due to convenient or unforeseen circumstances, Flora ends up exceeding the mandate of her caste and ‘serving time’ as many, many different types of bee. But Laline Paull’s gorgeous writing, and my immediate affection for Flora 717, the underdog sanitation bee (hee!
