Plan Bee by Hannah Reed

The townspeople of Moraine, Wisconsin, should be feeling festive during Harmony Festival. But when everything starts going wrong, beekeeper Story Fischer realizes that keeping honeybees is easy compared to keeping the peace. . . Moraine's annual Harmony Festival is anything but harmonious for Story Fischer. She's lost the Honey Queen crown to the town's biggest shoplifter, her domineering mother wants Story's beehive banned from the festival, and a visiting twelve-year-old genius is wreaking havoc with his explosive experiments. Then Story stumbles upon a dead body in the cementery, only to have it disappear - and then reappear in a most inconvenient place. When her mother begins dating the prime suspect, and the young scientist goes missing, Story is determined to get to the bottom of things. It's up to her to make a beeline for the truth before everything in Moraine blows sky-high.
