520    After a chance meeting in the pub, Roger Morgan-Grenville 
       and his friend Duncan decide to take up beekeeping. Their 
       enthusiasm matched only by their ignorance, they are 
       pitched into an arcane world of unexpected challenges. 
       Coping with many setbacks along the way, they manage to 
       create a colony of beehives, finishing two years later 
       with more honey than anyone knows what to do with. By 
       standing back from their normal lives and working with the
       cycle of the seasons, they emerge with a new-found 
       understanding of nature and a respect for the honeybee and
       the threats it faces. Wryly humorous and surprisingly 
       moving, Liquid Gold is the story of a friendship between 
       two unlikely men at very different stages of their lives. 
       It is also an uplifting account of the author's own 
       midlife journey: coming to terms with an empty nest, 
       getting older, looking for something new.
