She explores the myths of the past, and how and when they were replaced by fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stories from her travels, Möller encounters a host of colorful characters, from a trigger-happy California beekeeper raging against both killer bees and bee politics, to the legendary Brother Adam of Buckfast Abbey, breeder of the Buckfast Queen, now popular around the world.
