A gem of a story about a young girl going through a traumatic experience and a difficult parental relationship and finding love and sweetness through bees and a fantastic step grandfather. I occasionally found myself distracted by things like …. A five year old was analyzing all this behavior so deeply and remembers it so well. Then I realized memory is like that, we project later thoughts and reactions into our past.All in all… a great reader for bee lovers and survivors of traumatic hildhoofs as well as the general populace ( ) Meredith is only five when her parents split and she, her mother and brother move in with her grandmother and step-grandfather. Her grandpa has a bus where he makes honey. She learns a lot of lessons of life from what he tells her about bees. This autobiography was more like a novel and kept me reading too late in the night. I only wish she credited God and not "Mother Nature" with the amazing nature of bees. Had a tough time rating this book. I had wanted to read it (listen to it) for a long time and I knew it was highly rated so I had high expectations. I did enjoy the relationship between Meredith and her grandfather and the life lessons he taught her with the help of his bees. I really liked the ending and how she tied it all up. What I did not like was the overly specific and descriptive scenes all throughout the book. It made it feel like a novel rather than a memoir, as it was hard to believe any person could remember all those specific details from their life. (A minor note - I also did not like the narrator of the audio version). Like I said, I really liked the ending and that left me with a good feeling and 3.5 rating rather than a 3 sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML:An extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather and one of nature's most mysterious and beguiling creatures: the honeybee. Meredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. 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. That first close encounter was at once terrifying and exhilarating for May, and in that moment she discovered that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees. May turned to her grandfather and the art of beekeeping as an escape from her troubled reality. Her mother had receded into a volatile cycle of neurosis and despair and spent most days locked away in the bedroom. It was during this pivotal time in May's childhood that she learned to take care of herself, forged an unbreakable bond with her grandfather and opened her eyes to the magic and wisdom of nature. The bees became a guiding force in May's life, teaching her about family and community, loyalty and survival, and the unequivocal relationship between a mother and her child. Part memoir, part beekeeping odyssey, The Honey Bus is an unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual of places and how a tiny, little-understood insect could save a life.
