Cathryn Essinger's sixth book of poetry, Telling the Bees, references folklore belief that bee hives must be kept informed about major events in the life of the family. When the beekeeper dies, someone must inform the bees and invite them to stay, assuring them they will be treated well. In these poems, bees serve as a conduit between the present and the past, between generations, and between species as well.
