Quest for the First Hive

Ray is 11 years old, when she embarks on an adventure to save the pollinators. After discovering the importance of bees to the environment, Ray seeks to warn the Queen of the Queen bees about the dangers they face. With the help of Zhabbo, an old Kung San friend of her father's, and the eventual support of her mother, Ray travels to Africa to fulfill her mission.

The journey is filled with challenges and revelations, as Ray must confront a web of deception and come to terms with the realities of the natural world and human impact on it.

The central themes of Ray's journey are the value of being on a "Quest," adventure, compassion, environmental conservation, indigenous wisdom keepers, personal growth and loving ourselves and each other back to life.

Ray and the Quest for the First Hive is a book for all ages.

What others have said about Quest for the First Hive & The Ray Adventure Series...

"Fall in love with Ray as she embarks on planet-saving adventures. Ray is wise beyond her years but young enough to take risks that adults often would not. Verity Jenkins has written a trilogy that is educational and beautifully woven into an enlightened look at our planet. The stories are inter-generational - buy it for anybody but mostly for yourself."
Celina Taramina

"The first two books are about pollinators "Quest for the First Hive" and "Butterfly Bard" and are heart-warming and fast-paced reads, filled with well-researched educational facts too. I was so moved by these stories (laughing and crying out loud)"
Jill Sharpe
