brown as a bee

search me, why i buy a book about bees. perhaps the radio item on the drastic declination of the bee population (in the u.s.) stunned me, as does einstein’s statement that if bees die, us humans have four years left, before we go. forever. it’s impressive, not? british food writer and historian bee (beatrice) wilson wrote THE HIVE. THE STORY OF THE HONEY BEES AND US. and so i found the book. and the hive. well. honey is golden.
