Everly Swan, owner of the Sun, Sand, and Tea shop on the small island of Charm, North Carolina, has never been overly fond of her two great-aunts beekeeping hobby. Especially when an aging actress they had hired to appear in a documentary about bees turns up dead, and really puts a bee in Everlys bonnet. With the notoriously nosy reporter, Ryan, back in town and continued mixed signals from the towns sole detective are he and Everly a thing, or not?, plus the full-time job of trying to keep her shop afloat, Everly forgets to heed a cryptic warning to Bee Careful... and gets herself into a really sticky situation.
