I have been in India since November, which is why I haven't been posting anything new about the bees. I will pick up the bee blog again in March.
My new blog, about current trip to India (nothing to do with bees, but...)is www.bharatyatra2010.blogspot.com
there's a post about "lac" bugs, however...
LOVE THE HONEY BEES This blog is dedicated to providing information about the honey bee. We celebrate the honey bee through "An Evening in Honor of the Sacred Honey Bee" with traditional Bulgarian bee rituals, songs, music, poetry and dance. Our second "Evening..." was held August 15, 2009 at Pt. Reyes Dance Palace, in celebration of the first National Honey Bee Awareness Day.
