They tried to escape work with trips to their trailer camp on the Mississippi River, but the sisters did more fighting than fishing. If only there was a son to lead rural Missouri insect control and guide the way through a crumbling patriarchy.

As the mother’s long-term affair surfaces and her apocalypse prepper training intensifies, she wants to trade responsibility for romance. Facing an economic recession amidst the backdrop of growing Midwestern fear and resentment, the Fehler sisters unite in their struggle to save the company’s finances and the family’s future. To survive, they must overcome a political chasm that threatens a new civil war as the values that once united them now divide the very foundation they’ve built. Through alternating point-of-views, grief and regret gracefully give way to the enduring strength of the hive.
Download or read book The Lives of Bees written by Thomas D. Seeley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, sheds light on why wild honey bees are still thriving while those living in managed colonies are in crisis. Drawing on the latest science as well as insights from his own pioneering fieldwork, he describes in extraordinary detail how honey bees live in nature and shows how this differs significantly from their lives under the management of beekeepers. Seeley presents an entirely new approach to beekeeping--Darwinian Beekeeping--which enables honey bees to use the toolkit of survival skills their species has acquired over the past thirty million years, and to evolve solutions to the new challenges they face today. He shows beekeepers how to use the principles of natural selection to guide their practices, and he offers a new vision of how beekeeping can better align with the natural habits of honey bees.

Download or read book Centurion Faith written by James McCurry and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centurion Faith is about a growing faith, hope and love in and for God. The story expands on the Gospel of Luke 7:1-10, The Faith of the Centurion. The quotations of Jesus and His scripture are the key points throughout the story. This is what Jesus says about the centurion, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” Eternally speaking, what does Jesus want us to learn from His words? However, these ten verses in Luke leave some open questions of interest. Questions such as, how did a Gentile enemy of the nation of Israel come to have such great faith in Jesus? Why did he love the nation of Israel? Why did he build a synagogue for the people of Capernaum? Why was his sick servant so precious to him? In that regard, remember that Centurion Faith is an imagined plausible story that will fade away while the words of Jesus will never fade. Seize His words for your eternity while you enjoy this moving storybook.
