Жужжащие. Естественная история пчёл

The setting feels authentic and vibrant, and I wonder what inspired the choice to focus on hockey alongside the romance. Was this a personal passion or a deliberate contrast?

I appreciated how the story didn't rush through the romance but also kept things engaging. Was this pacing intentional to mirror the highs and lows of hockey seasons?

Their internal struggles felt very genuine, and I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or research to portray this authentic growth.
