The Beekeepers

Baltimore is buzzing.

After discovering the hidden world of the Hives, Maya Wells and the Beekeepers follow the trail to the city, where a lost Hive sleeps beneath the streets and Vesper’s most dangerous experiment is about to wake.

In Baltimore, the team discovers Hive Seven, a secret underground world tied to the city itself. But Vesper has built something terrifying: an artificial queen designed to control pollinators, replace nature, and turn the world’s fragile ecosystems into corporate property.

With new allies, new enemies, and a city full of secrets, the Beekeepers must stop Vesper before its machines poison the truth and make the world believe nature has failed.

But the city is listening.

And some Hives do not stay hidden forever.

City of Hives is the second book in The Beekeepers, a thrilling middle-grade eco-adventure series about courage, friendship, secret worlds, and the small living things that keep the planet alive.
