He Should Have Told The Bees by Amanda Cox

 Book Description:  Beekeeper Beckett Walsh is living her dream, working alongside her father in their apiary, until his untimely death sends her world into a tailspin. She suddenly finds she must deal with a new part owner of the family business--one who is looking to sell the property. Beck cannot fathom why her father would put her into the position to lose everything they built together.

When Callie Peterson is named in the trust of a man she's never heard of, she's not sure what to do. Her fledgling business has just taken wing and her mother has reentered her life asking for help getting into rehab for her lifelong substance abuse issues, making Callie's financial situation rather . . . precarious. She's sure she has no right to someone else's farm, but the money from the sale could solve her problems and give her the stability she's always craved.

My Thoughts: This is the first book I've read by Amanda Cox; hopefully it won't be the last.

Beck, who has lost her father in death and then has to deal with losing the beekeeper business they built together.  At times my heart grieved for Beck (Beckett Walsh) since it seems that she has so much to lose.  Why didn't her dad make provision for her to keep the bee keeper business?  Poor Beck!

Then Callie Petersen is named in the trust of a man she never knew.  Callie has had a business that can't seem to make it then her mother wants to reenter her life because she has financial woes.  But Callie has financial woes too.  

The story of how Beck and Callie have so much in common and how one man who loved both made provision for them. 

This creative and insightful read will make the reader want to know what he should have told the bees.
