Story behind The Beartooth Chronicles – Part 2 – Honey Bees

I’ve always been fascinated with honey bees. They play a huge role in pollination and produce some truly remarkable products. Wax has been used in many products including candles, soap, beauty products, and furniture polish to name a few. Honey is not only a delicious treat, but raw honey also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used to treat burns and improve wound healing.

There are 20,000 different types of bees in the world. But only one kind makes honey. In a hive, only the queen lays eggs, and male worker-bees mate with the queen. Female worker-bees produce honey from pollen and nectar that they collect from plants while pollinating, and then store the honey in honeycombs made of wax inside their nest. It is this honey that apiculturists collect.

Read how apiculture plays a vital role in the survival of Beartooth in Refuge from the World (The Beartooth Chronicles, Book 1). It is available in ebook and print from most major online booksellers.

I would like to introduce Australian western author, Susan Horsnell, and welcome her to Embrace Adventure.   Just living in Australia conjures up all kinds of adventurous images in my mind, and I dream of going there someday. For now, let’s get to know Susan, and we can live our Australian dreams vicariously through her.   First, Susan, tell us a little bit about yourself.   I have been retired for almost 5 years which is wonderful.

It seems like love happens when you’re not looking for it, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Marked In Mexico’s Jessica, hasn’t figured out a way to break it off with the arrogant son of a prominent senator, who happens to be her boss at the law firm where she works. Oh, and did I mention her dad is totally pushing for her to marry the cheating scum? So, what’s a girl to do? Take a vacation with her best friend and try to get her priorities in order, which sounds like a great idea until…   An idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger, who has no intention of playing by the rules.   I’ll be giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Car
