Lyuba Kremneva was raised by her grandfather Rodion, a straightforward and principled man who came from a long line of beekeepers. It's no wonder that Lyuba inherited both her character and profession from her grandfather. They live in a traditional village, but even here, amidst modern customs, Lyuba appears old-fashioned. She is definitely not a trendsetter like her friend Lera, she doesn't know how to compete for boys' attention, and her fairness in the family business of selling honey scares away the shady dealers. In short, Lyuba is a sweet and honest girl, but she seems to belong to a different era.
