Story Fischer and her hunky cop boyfriend, Hunter are
shacking up together in Story's house. It makes sense
considering it is much easier to move Hunter and his police
dog Ben than to convince Story's hives to move. Three days
into their new lifestyle things become a bit complicated.
You see the problems all start when Story's spoiled yet
beloved sister Holly needs Story to save her bacon, again.
Holly's multimillionaire husband, Max has invited a few
colleagues home for the weekend. Flavorists who rub along
together like a cats in a hot tub, they need feeding and
entertaining, and Story is thrust first in line to handle
the details. Good thing they have a passing interest in
bees.
During their tour of Story's skeps and honey house, one of
Max's employees winds up face first dead in the river and
Story finds herself and her family heading up the suspect
lineup.
That would be enough to give pause to any boyfriend, let
alone one
representing the law. Then things take turn for the worse
when Story's mother and HER boyfriend decide to look into
renting the house next door. It just may be too much for
Hunter and Story's relationship to weather, this time.

Folks in Moraine, Wisconsin, are buzzing about the latest
swarm of trouble humming around Story Fischer…
It’s a real buzz-kill when beekeeper Story Fischer gets a
visit from her frantic sister. Now she has to help host a
combative trio of professional food flavorists. Good thing
the well-stocked shelves of Story’s grocery store, the Wild
Clover, can provide the morning meal.
During a pre-lunch tour of Story’s hives, however, one of
the guests is found dead. Just what Story needs only days
after hunky boyfriend, Hunter Wallace, finally decided to
move in. As if a dead body isn’t enough to put a damper on
romance, Story becomes a prime suspect when the carrot juice
she brought with the breakfast fixings is found to contain
poison. Now it’s up to Story to comb through the evidence
and find the real perpetrator before she ends up getting
stung herself...
