Queen Bee by Dorothea Benton Frank

In the tranquil lowcountry of South Carolina, beekeeper Holly “Queen Bee” Jensen lives a quiet life tending her hives, caring for her reclusive mother, and avoiding the chaos of the outside world. But when her charming neighbor’s children befriend her, Holly finds herself drawn into their lives — and into the heart of their recently separated father. Her peaceful existence is upended again when her sister Leslie returns home, bringing with her old resentments and unexpected secrets. As the sisters rediscover their bond and face the choices that shaped them, Queen Bee becomes a story of renewal, sisterhood, and the sweet sting of second chances.
