Really. Swarm of Bees is a book listed on Daniel Handler's agent's webpage in the context of a Snicket picture book or supplementary volume - most likely the former, as Google Books and Blackwells listings credit an illustrator, Rilla Alexander. These listings indicate the book will be out sometime in 2019. And that is the limit of our knowledge at present. Discuss. Edit: Google Books (link above) has delivered us a short synopsis: --- A horde of bees and a young boy race around town wreaking havoc on the townspeople. --- Edit Again: And another one, courtesy below of gothicarchiesfan: --- Swarm of Bees! Swarm of Bees! You are SO angry! What will you do? Watch out! A mischievous boy has unleashed an angry swarm of bees! The result is a zany gallop through a charming town where readers will encounter evidence of some bad behavior, some frenzied anger and thankfully, a hug and some spaghetti. It can feel good to be angry. It can feel better to stop. ---

After a goldfish ghost, the ghost of a dead rabbit, and supposedly upcoming fox spirits in bottles, I'm surprised it's not a swarm of ghost bees.

another iconic title for what will probably be a lazy, lousy book

I'm excited for this because a) It's a Lemony Snicket book and b) presumably (unless the title is very misleading indeed), it's about bees, and that's good because people need to be aware of bees and how important they are.

Is the world really ready for a whole swarm of Bees? Although I suppose it is a 2019 book.

I just found another listing on google books which has a more detailed synopsis. "Swarm of Bees! Swarm of Bees! You are SO angry! What will you do? Watch out! A mischievous boy has unleashed an angry swarm of bees! The result is a zany gallop through a charming town where readers will encounter evidence of some bad behavior, some frenzied anger and thankfully, a hug and some spaghetti. It can feel good to be angry. It can feel better to stop."

Definitely a picture book, it seems.

Sounds a little like a spiritual sequel to The Bad Mood and the Stick. Good find.

Well-discovered, gothicarchiesfan. I think Penguin Random House Canada has been the source of leaks before, so it might be worth paying particular attention to them in future.

It is too bad the picture book is not about an angry swarm of snow gnats, but I suppose Mr. Snicket is trying to appeal to young children who likely have not read A Series of Unfortunate Events when he writes picture books. I like the simple color scheme.
