My mother has always been a worker bee, but she's also a serious foodie.

I wish being a beekeeper, which I am, gave you a free pass on the carbon footprint, but it doesn't.

I began writing when I was still in the British Foreign Service, and it was then understood that even if you wrote about butterfly collecting, you used another name.

It's wonderful to me that bees have this simple, age-old thing going on.

I was sometimes called 'coconut' when I was at school.

I moved to Princeton, Indiana, and became a professional Farm Manager for that Princeton Farms.

I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life.

I grew up in a retirement community in Florida.
