I haven’t been blogging that much lately, and to be honest with you it’s a 50/50 combination between blogger’s block and a heavy workload…I’ve been working 60 hours a week while studying for the GRE, looking for graduate school positions and having something resembling a social life.

Most folks associate bees with honey production because that’s the bee product they’re most familiar with. Believe it or not, most of the stuff you have in your fridge is just as much the product of apiculture.
