This book might not appeal to all readers. I really enjoyed the book. Basically you have two men who are researching bees. One has gone blind so he hires the other to help him observe and write. The blind man gets most of credit, as the other is just a manservant. This happens in Geneva, during the French revolution, so the author draws some parallels to bees and men and government, nothing too profound or debatable. So the book is about the men and their relationship in a form of the Manservant's diary.
You are not going to find some great controaversary, or twists. It was an enjoyable read. I learned some things about bees, that in our modern world we kinda take for granted, but these men, took time to observe and experiment for us to come to that common bee knowledge. It is listed as fiction, but I do believe the characters were real bee naturalists.
