It’s early May on the Oregon coast. Wren Johnson, owner of the Let It Bee honey shop, is preparing for the annual UFO festival. Her Aunt Eloise has even designed costumes for their Havana Brown cats to celebrate the occasion.
It’s also fruit tree blossom season, so Wren goes to check in with her bee wrangler friend, Elias Brentwood. What she finds at his house are three destroyed hives, a mad swarm of bees, and Elias on the ground. She calls 911, but when the EMS arrive, Elias is dead -- not from bee stings, but from blunt force trauma to the head.
After another bee wrangler is found dead with his hives destroyed, Wren dives into the local beekeeper community to help figure out who is destroying the hives and murdering the bee wranglers. Is it a secret government cover up? A sinister plot to invade North American swarms with genetically modified bees? Or all a scam put in place by the killer as a way to corner the local market? As Wren gets closer to solving the murders, the killer smashes the beehive inside Let It Bee, causing chaos for Wren and her kitties.
Wren and Aunt Eloise must figure out who the killer is, but can they prove it before another person dies? There’s just one way to solve the mystery – they’ll have to set up a sting!
