Nature & Bees

Sue Monk Kidd does a fabulous job in keeping with the theme of nature throughout the book.  Tying the characters to nature with the wailing wall, bees, honey, and the river all of which help the story progress in some way or another.  The bees are a subtle way to show symbolism in how much we depend on such a tiny insect for something so beautiful and sweet.

Most people don’t have any idea about all the complicated life going on inside a hive. Bees have a secret life we don’t know anything about.”
