Acknowledgments

We are grateful to Garrick, the model who brought our main character to life,
Jerry Blackwell, a.k.a. Farmer Jerry, of Peacehaven Farm, Jordan, Minnesota, for welcoming us
and sharing his passion for beekeeping, and Erin Rupp at Pollinate Minnesota for educating
us, and advocating for all things “bee.” We could not have made this book without you.
