BEE prepared for a fun book filled with interesting and humorous stories by a New York City beekeeper. But the stories just don’t take place in NYC. He teaches beekeeping in Iraq, Uganda and other places for Bees Without Borders. It’s hard work but Cote makes it sound like fun.

A pleasure to read as Andrew Cote takes you through a year of adventures as a "beek" in New York and, as founder of "Bees Without Borders", the world. Entertaining and educational tour by New York's premier beekeeper.
