Hi guys. I kinda stumbled upon this website, so I’m giving this query of mine a shot in the dark.
I’m writing a fiction novel with sub-genres of science fiction & fantasy about a magical island that has the last of world’s endangered honeybee species on it. I’ve done a lot of research, read many books, watched several documentaries and have watched many videos online about a couple aspects of a colonies livelihood mostly pertaining to the method of care, honey extraction and the certain maladies they endure within the hive.
There are many highly technical passages I’ve written about beekeeping & I’m looking for an apiculturist to basically tell me if what I’m writing sounds relatively plausible (keep in mind this is fiction) & if the technique is accurate.
Would anyone be willing to look over passages for me & give me feedback/ or advice on a few different questions I have?
I would be endlessly grateful for your help.
Thanks so much!

Hi Violet,
Depending on your timeline, I would be happy to help. I have around 30+ years of backyard (non-commercial) beekeeping experience, but I also regularly interact with commercial beekeepers. I would be happy to help within the area of what I know from direct interaction, and I may be able to refer you for other opinions.
My only caveat is that I have a full time job, so I cannot reply instantly, and if you send me 300 pages, it may take a couple of weeks for me to review the material. 
Best wishes with your project,
Dawn
P.S. My husband is also interested in helping, and he has about 10 years’ more experience than me in “hobby” beekeeping. 
Greetings Dawn!
Thank you kindly for replying. I shall compile a few of the more “technical” sections of my book & send them your way. I promise that nothing that I send you will be 300 pages & know that nothing needs to be reviewed with immediate urgency as I am still writing the book.
With that being said, would you mind sharing your email address, or would it be better to send via this website? (My only concern being that I might lose some of my formatting if I do post here.)
I love that your husband would also like to help. 10 years experience, oh my! That’s just wonderful; I feel very fortunate that you reached out.
I’m looking forward to hearing both of your thoughts!
Warmly,
-Violet
I dont know where is your novel reached because just arrived here and saw your post, I read a novel The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, its totally on bees, and really its quite interesting novel, I bought it from back to school coupon at Reecoupons, and I suggest you read it you will definitely get much good info for your novel.
