The Queen Bee Mysteries by Hannah Reed consists of five cozy mysteries published between 2010 and 2014. The series follows Story Fischer, a beekeeper in the small town of Moraine, Wisconsin, who keeps finding herself at the center of local crimes. Buzz Off kicks things off when a neighbor is found dead and Story’s ex-husband becomes the prime suspect.
Mind Your Own Beeswax, Plan Bee, Beeline to Trouble, and Beewitched continue the series with new mysteries and growing complications in Story’s personal life. The books weave in details about beekeeping and honey production, adding a hobbyist angle that sets the series apart from other cozy mysteries. The bee-themed punning titles set the tone for the series, which stays light even when dealing with murder.
