Zora is overqualified for her new job at the lab, but she’s there because she loves bees – or what is left of them, as it has been years since bees produced honey or pollinated certain fruits and flowers. Her sweet coworker, Pilar, and stressed supervisor, Gwen, have learned to keep their heads and budgets down so their research doesn't get discontinued. Zora, however, doesn’t mind spending her own time and money to try to rehabilitate the bee population. When an unfortunate incident in the lab leads to a boost in the bees’ numbers, Zora and Gwen have to decide just how far they’re willing to go to keep the population growing. An unsettling and sharp-witted cautionary tale, The Apiary warns that the key to protecting each other and the planet is right in front of us, if only we would listen.
