It

feels

good

A link between "disappearance of the Templars and disappearance of bees"

Bernard Werber reminds us that bees are in danger, especially because of Asian hornets.

"The Asian hornet arrived in France in 2004. All it took was one guy who brought a queen to a porcelain", specifies the writer.

"And since then the whole world has been invaded by Asian hornets, which systematically destroy beehives."

His new novel will therefore combine the Templars, Asian hornets and bees.

And will refer to the scientific theory that the day the bees disappear, humanity will only be able to survive 4 years.

"This is the opening of the book," he reveals.

"And that's one of the themes: the novel will link the disappearance of the Templars and the disappearance of the bees."

"Forget your documentation so as not to bore your reader"

And to write this book, Bernard Werber was not only passionate about bees.

He also researched the Templars.

"It's fascinating because there are a lot of books on it, and I am discovering extraordinary things about their sources and their origins", rejoices the author, who always reads a lot of press articles and research in the preparation of his novels.

"The big difficulty is to forget its documentation so as not to bore the reader," he advises.

"So I have to save all the documentation, and not put it in the book, so that the reader is in the action. But he must feel that it is there. The reader must take his information in a quasi-subconscious, subliminal way. "

This difficult balance should make it possible to achieve Bernard Werber's main objective: to surprise his reader.

"But my big concern is the suspense," he confirms.

"The idea is that the next scene is never the one the reader expects."

What Bernard Werber does not reveal is the title and the release date of this new novel.
