About This Book
This weekend may be the last-ever Turkey Days, but for these four characters, that is just the beginning! Sarah, a turkey farmer, has just left her husband and moved back home to live with her mom Gail. Gail's a beekeeper and she has other things to worry aboutālike why her honeybees are dropping dead. Then there's Earl: Gail's neighbour, farm tenant, and the ex-husband of Gail's ex-husband's new wife. In these past twenty years, he's been keeping himself mighty busy with the ladies, but Gail's never really got back on that horseā¦ so to speak. And finally, there's Ben: an athletic 23-year-old Masters student, here to study the declining bee populations. Secretly still a virgin, he's about to get a big lesson in pollinationā¦ Set in two adjoining bedrooms on a modern Canadian farm, the play tackles sex, love, science, family, and the artificial insemination of turkeys. The Birds and the Bees is a laugh-out-loud comedy with a huge, honeyed heart.
