A conversation with the fascinating Helen Jukes, author of the beautiful 'A Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings', who embarked on a year of beekeeping as an antidote to the claustrophobia of her urban lifestyle. Helen discusses what it means to ‘keep’ wild creatures. In learning about the bees, what can she learn of herself? The very act of keeping seems to open up new perspectives, deepen friendships old and new, and make her world come alive. This is a beautifully wrought meditation on responsibility and care, on vulnerability and trust, on forging bonds and breaking new ground.
