Never cry over spilt milk. It could've been champagne. Or whisky. End of Year Buzz. December 29, 2015. Everyone’s talking about the unseasonable weather. Too hot, too cold, no snow, too much rain. Here in eastern France, after a glorious autumn and then a first snowfall that was properly timed and then quickly melted, it’s been warm. So warm, in fact, that a few of the bees under the eaves. Bee on a window shutter. The bees wander around the outside of the house. They must be so confused. August 3, 2015.

Never cry over spilt milk. It could've been champagne. Or whisky. May 18, 2015. Many cultures have customs relating to bees, animals that have long been highly valued, if little understood. After all, bees work hard all year, they pollinate many of our favorite foods and enable agriculture, they provide honey, and they don’t ask for much except to be left to toil in peace. Some say one should speak to bees gently, and not harshly, so as not to incur their anger, or worse, their departure. A third reason ...

Never cry over spilt milk. It could've been champagne. Or whisky. May 16, 2014. A study published this week adds further evidence that there is a direct correlation between the decline of honeybee populations and the ongoing use of certain pesticides. Namely, neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids share some chemical similarity with nicotine. Like nicotine, they are both toxic and addictive. They also have a similar trajectory in the media. Lost Wax: Empty honeycomb husks (bronze/lost wax). So cigarettes remaine...

Never cry over spilt milk. It could've been champagne. Or whisky. August 3, 2015. Over the past couple of years I’ve noticed a lot of articles and blog posts questioning whether organic food is really worth the generally higher cost of the products to the consumer, i.e. whether organic food offers significant health benefits for the person eating it that justify spending more. The question itself represents part of what I consider our limited perspective when it comes to food production. But pesticide us...

Never cry over spilt milk. It could've been champagne. Or whisky. Bees in the Eaves. May 10, 2013. Honeybees under the eaves. As it turns out, these products are relatively new. Neonicotinoids are the first plant-derived insecticide. Just fifteen years after their commercial introduction, neonicotinoids are most widely used pesticides on the planet, and generate over $2 billion in sales annually. Even if neonicotinoids are simply the final drop that forces the cup of impacts on bee colony collapse to ove...
