CATCH  THE BUZZ  
Science Friday, Tom Seeley, Carl  Flatow, May Berenbaum – Happy Holidays!  
This Friday,  December 24, the eve of the 200th Anniversary of the birth of 
L. L.  Langstroth, the Public Radio program _Science  Friday_ 
(http://www.sciencefriday.com/) , with host Ira Flatow, has two guests - Dr. Tom Seeley 
from  Cornell University, author of the recently published book _Honey Bee 
Democracy_ 
(http://www.beeculture.com/content/HoneybeeDemocracy.Seeley.BeeCulture-Final.pdf)  (see a sample chapter on Bee  Culture’s web page) and May 
Berenbaum, author of Honey, I’m Homemade  (Bee Culture’s Book Review at the 
end of this message), on the second  hour of the show, both discussing the 
role L. L. played in modern beekeeping.  
But for the  10  best _honey bee videos_ 
(http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/201012245)  you’ve ever seen, check out these,  with Carl 
Flatow (of L. L. Langstroth Postage Stamp fame), Tom Seeley, and a  swarm of 
honey bees...from the swarm leaving to setting up a new home right  here. I have 
NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, seen this detail in a video series).  
Please, pass  this along to anybody and everybody you know who will learn 
from and enjoy  this information on bees, swarms, and beekeepers. And who can 
check out either  the original show, or the archives later this week.  
Thanks to  both Ira and Carl Flatow....Science at its best.  
Bee  Culture’s Book Review of May  Berenbaum’s book published in the 
December issue of Bee Culture...

Honey, I’m Homemade.  Sweet treats from the beehive across the centuries 
and around the world.  Edited by May Berenbaum. 184  pages, 6.5” x 8”. B & W. 
Soft cover. ISBN 9780252077449. $21.95 Published  by Univ Of IL Press.  
May  Berenbaum is a prestigious researcher and scientist at  Univ IL. She 
is the Swanlund Professor of Entomology  there, and has written a score of 
other books about insects and people. She is  also involved with CCD research 
and other projects. I’ve had the good fortune  to meet and talk with her on 
a few occasions. This book is a collection of  recipes gathered from the 
historic files of Univ IL Vern Milum, the IL State  Beekeepers historic 
records, very special family friends and other places,  that have been updated, 
modernized, or left as is, and include cookies, bard,  breads, muffins, 
desserts, pies and puddings, cakes and more. Profits from the  sale of the book are 
to be donated to help maintain the Univ of IL  Pollinatarium, a science 
center devoted to flowering plants and their  pollinators.  
At the  beginning are 20 some pages on honey bee lore, honey information, 
and  pollination science and wisdom by the Editor, and at the end there is  
information on honey festivals, and a great reference section. In between,  
there’s all these recipes, a couple hundred by my reckoning. Some ethnic, 
some  familiar, some to me unknown, some good, some better. It’s a fun stroll  
through May’s good choices. If you are looking for a good honey cookbook, 
this  is one to look at twice. And the money you spend helps a lot more than 
just  the beekeepers who collect the honey you use.
