I’ve been having fun reading/using two recent bee books: Laurence Packer’s Keeping the Bees and May Berenbaum ‘s Honey, I’m Homemade

Laurence is a former-mentor and now colleague at York University’ Department of Biology – the book is very informative and fun to read.  I am a bit biased however, as I like to think that I am the hero of chapter 8 !

May’s book is a great compilation of desserts using honey as an ingredient (I’ve been salivating over the Norwegian Rice Custard recipe on page 113)… Remember to buy honey from your local beekeeper before trying out the recipes!
