About The Apiary:
It’s twenty-two years in the future, and honeybees are nearly extinct except for those
kept alive inside of labs. Zora is overqualified for her new job at one of these labs,
but she’s there because she loves bees—or what is left of them. Her stressed supervisor,
Gwen, has learned to keep her head and budget down so her research doesn’t get discontinued.
Zora, however, doesn’t mind spending her own time and money to try to rehabilitate
the bee population. When an unfortunate incident leads to a boost in the bees’ numbers,
Zora and her coworker Pilar have to decide just how far they’re willing to go to keep
the population growing. An unsettling and sharp-witted cautionary tale, The Apiary
warns that the key to protecting each other and the planet is right in front of us,
if only we would listen.
