The Mountain Life - The Honey Bus - Meredith May

Today we speak with Meredith May, a fifth generation bee-keeper and award-winning writer, about the fascinating world of bees, of a young girl's coming-of age, about loss and about how family is much like the world of bees, with its very complex ecosystem. May is a Pulitzer-prize nominated journalist who wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle for 16 years. She lives in San Francisco where she keeps bees in a community garden. She joins us to today to talk about her new book called, The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Less, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees.
