QueenSpotting book with Super Bloom

Spotted: QueenSpotting at California’s Super Bloom

San Diego–based beekeeper, swarm catcher, and new Storey author Hilary Kearney’s book looked right at home in this sea of poppies during Southern California’s recent wildflower super bloom.

QueenSpotting takes a deep dive into hive life, with a special focus on the fascinating monarch at the center of it all, and 48 addictive fold-out “spot the queen bee” photo challenges. Look for it on shelves later this month.
