Shiny things 30/ Bees?

All the sudden my personal zeitgeist is buzzzzzzzing

Scientific American’s podcast had an episode on bees, and then magically, the internet’s oldest group blog had a bunch of bee-related posts all in the same day.

• Hauling bees around the country is the worst thing we can do to bees but we don’t have a choice — why this is in the ringer, of all places? (source)

• 8 bit bees (source)

• Ancient Bee Paintings from 8000 years ago (source)

• 5th century bee jewelry (source)

Hidden in the comments were 2 more finds —

• Bee Orchids (XKCD) which is achingly beautiful

• Honeybee Democracy - this is mega nerd territory but it really is a sweet book.
