Synopsis: Sarah's marriage is over, and she's just moved back home to the farm with her beekeeper mother, Gail. As the women try to adjust to the many changes in their world, their lives are further complicated by the community's last-ever Turkey Days celebration, beehive troubles, an eccentric neighbour, and a handsome young researcher. 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.
