The Wedding Bees: A Novel of Honey, Love, and Manners Description
Sugar Wallace did not believe in love at first sight, but her bees did. . . .
Every spring Sugar Wallace coaxes her sleepy honeybee queen—presently the sixth in a long line of Queen Elizabeths—out of the hive and lets her crawl around a treasured old map. Wherever the queen stops is their next destination, and this year it's New York City.
Sugar sets up her honeybees on the balcony of an East Village walk-up and then––as she's done everywhere since leaving South Carolina––she gets to know her neighbors. She is, after all, a former debutante who believes that manners make the world a better place even if they seem currently lacking in the big city.
Plus, she has a knack for helping people. There's Ruby with her scrapbook of wedding announcements; single mom Lola; reclusive chef Nate; and George, a courtly ex-doorman. They may not know what to make of her bees and her politeness, but they can't deny the magic in her honey.
And then there's Theo, a delightfully kind Scotsman who crosses Sugar's path as soon as she gets into town and is quickly besotted. But love is not on the menu for Sugar. She likes the strong independent woman she's become since leaving the South and there's nothing a charmer like Theo can do to change her mind . . . only her bees can do that.
The Wedding Bees is a novel about finding sweetness where you least expect it and learning to love your way home.

I have read all but one of Sarah Kate Lynch’s wonderful books and I adore her writing. I also had the honor of meeting her when she came to LA and it was a thrill. I would much rather have the chance to meet this talented, smart, funny and beautiful author (Sarah Kate) before I met ANY celebrity. It was one of the best days ever.
The Wedding Bees, just like all of SKL’s books, has a bit of magic running through it. Sugar is a lovely southern woman that moves from city to city with her bees. She has a bit of a quirky personality, and I would love her as a friend. Upon moving to NY, she begins to work her magic on her new neighbors. There are enough summaries of the story that I won’t bore you with that. However, I will say that I adored EVERY character in the book and it’s hard to say if I loved one more than the other. Ruby and Nate were probably my favorite, if I had to choose. George, the “doorman” was also lovely. Theo… a true prince. We also met Sugar’s family, which was probably the saddest part of the book. Even the bees were interesting!
What I love about Sarah Kate’s writing is that she transports you into the book. I could picture Sugar’s garden, I could taste Nate’s treats, and I could even feel the sadness of Ruby’s apartment. I now have a crazy urge to begin investigating honey! I also feel a need to go to NY and visit Alphabet City! Sarah Kate always has a ribbon of food in all of her books as well, which can leave the reader hungry.
I recommend EVERY one of SKL’s books. My personal favorite was Eating with the Angels. It SHOULD be a movie, and I tell anyone that will listen. Next I would recommend House of Daughters and then, On Top of Everything. Finally, Dolce di Love, Blessed are the Cheesemakers AND By Bread Alone are great reads as well.
