| Summary |
"Wilderness Honey" by Frank Lillie Pollock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around three orphaned siblings, Alice, Bob, and Carl Harman, who decide to take charge of their circumstances by venturing into beekeeping in the wilderness of Canada after they sell their family store. They hope to turn their new venture into a profitable enterprise as they navigate the challenges of their new life among the bees and the natural world. The opening of the narrative establishes the siblings' difficult situation following the death of their father, highlighting their emotional connection to their family store, which they have to sell out of necessity. Alice, a spirited and determined character, is particularly passionate about her bees and believes that beekeeping could provide them with a better future. As they relocate to a remote bee farm in the wild, the initial excitement gives way to the realities of managing the hives and confronting natural perils, including potential threats from wildlife and even human intruders. This portion of the book sets the stage for a mix of adventure, personal growth, and the pursuit of dreams amidst the beauty and challenges of the wilderness.
