From a press release:
Local press publishes “A Monk in the Bee Hive” by Skye ann louise Taylor
“A Monk in the Bee Hive weaves together the threads of nature and spiritual practice, sitting, silence and the sound of bees. Beekeeping and monasticism have for centuries been partners, and here this ancient practice continues, combining the mystery of the soul with the magic of the hive. Skye’s story brings sweetness and simplicity into our life, connecting us to the deeper roots of our own being. It leaves both sweetness and the fragrance of flowers behind, as well as silence and the ringing of temple bells.” — Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Sufi teacher and author of The Prayer of the Heart in Christian and Sufi Mysticism

90 Oteen Church Road, Asheville NC 28805A Monk in the Beehive introduces and carries the reader to a higher octave of beekeeping. It has been called forth by the need for a recognition of the forces informing all of life itself. Drawing on her experiences as a Buddhist monk, Skye ann louise Taylor is adroit in her perception and application of sacred principles to life in the bee hive, as well as the monastery. Her insights into what Bee needs in her time of crisis are surprising and illuminating. Sacred geometry, astronomy, mystic Queens and holy Drones meld and swirl together in hives made of wood that resonate with the underlying formative forces moving throughout the hive and its surrounds. A Monk in the Beehive is a book for a twenty-first century connection to all things Bee.
Biography: Skye has been a seeker of the Divine since childhood. She found it early on in nature and then, at the age of 37, joined the San Francisco Zen Center to become a monk. Meditation showed her the Divine within. In the winter of 2006 Bee visited her meditation and persisted in gaining her attention. That visitation resulted in this book. Her websites are www.templehives.com and www.skye-talk.com.
