A Cosmos in my Kitchen

About the Book

Sandy Silver paid her dollar at the County Fair and walked into a small, dark room filled with hundreds of thousands of honeybees behind glass. “I want this,” she said. Over the objections of her husband, she got a honeybee Observation Hive. We’re glad she did. Her journal burrows deep into the everyday life and death of a world most of us have never even contemplated. The honeybee gives us man’s oldest sweet but she, also, has a sting. This is a gentle and reverent book, but it has a sharp edge. You’ll enjoy Silver’s many digressions into history, archaeological wonders, etymology and all things cosmic. Most of all, you’ll finish the book and say, “Wow, a sweet read.”
