Bee Charmer Novels

Nothing's nicer in the summer than a little sweet tea and honey. And just like a character from one of my favorite films - these books are "bee charmers" - full of honey. Some of them are sweet, some are stuffed with sticky situations; but all of them will help you buzz through an afternoon or two in an armchair or porch swing with a good beverage by your side.
