The last thing she remembers is watching her sister fly off into space and seeing the space ship dissapear (or explode?). Now stuck in this house with no human beings for miles and no way to contact anyone, she finds a radio and makes an attempt to reach out to somebody... anybody. In an attempt to connect with someone, she starts to tell her story and the events leading up to the last thing she remembers. But, as she talks about her experiences she begins to realize that her life story may hold more answers to her current circumstances than she realizes. https://the-death-of-the-bees.captivate.fmtrueepisodicnopodcastAn Update For YouAn Update For YouHello Everyone!
