BEE'cause
When you receive this, I should bee mid-road trip from Northeast FL to central Kentucky. Why? you ask. BEE’cause bees. The USPS cares nothing for the live critters they transport; unjustifiable delays, no tracking info, crates left on hot loading docs, etc. Half arrive dead in the bottom of their wee crates. So, rather than allow USPS to torture the replacement shipment, we’re going to pick them up ourselves.
And so, a pause in my editing madness for a drive north. We’re taking the scenic route wherever possible.
For my future Beta Readers: current best-guess target for beta reading = July/August.
More soon!

UPDATE:
Oh Lausanne! I am so glad you are a beekeeper! We thought about it, but sadly just that. Paul, my husband, always has projects, but never managed this one. Did you know Paul Theroux is a beekeeper, in Hawaii? Keep us posted. In Mexico we have Melipona bees, without a stinger, you may have heard of them. The Maya even wrote about them--way back when--for the historian in you ): Happy travels!
Mail-ordering living critters sounds like a weird concept to begin with. Happy to hear you‘re fetching them yourself.
