Anyone know how long DAP and energizers have been available? Bet that makes a difference
I would think raisins were the DAP of the past...

How are you finding it?
I found the writing engaging enough.
It sure has made me appreciate biodiverse farms and top-bar hives and the small back yard beekeeper. Kinda makes me want to bee one...
Not too far into it yet, but the author is obviously enamored with the CA bee keeper. Theres some good info in there, but the fawning and gushing are a bit distracting.....

Fawning and gushing. That's what finally made me put down the Twilight books. I got halfway through the second one, realized I wasn't a 12 year old girl and closed the book. Now that my daughters are 12, I gave the books to them. They are suspicious about my ownership. And about my "Team Edward" t-shirt.

I've read that 42 times.
I am re-reading A Fire Upon the Deep and can't read that without reading A Deepness in the Sky both by Vernor Vinge.
I'm an old school sci-fi geek.
I don't read books about my hobbies, they get in the way of my experimentation.

Wow !! Cool!! So what IS that question again? I can never remember....
After slogging through the Beekeeper's Lament,
it is now a real delight to be reading
The Joys of Beekeeping by Richard Taylor.

I just got The Honey Connoisseur: Selecting, Tasting, and Pairing Honey, With a Guide to More Than 30 Varietals. So fun!
And this week I'm picking up Watership Down to force my kids to read it.

I just read A Taste of Molecules. It was a quick, enjoyable read about the author's research on the science of flavor. A Belgian meadmaker and honey distributor (Xavier Renotte - Nectar & Co.) is prominently featured. The author met with many very interesting scientists and businesspeople and I would have liked to learn a lot more; the science descriptions in the book are not very detailed. Although the meadmaker was interviewed extensively, I did not learn anything about meadmaking from this book. There are two recipes in the book for food cooked with mead though: lamb chops marinated in mead and boudin sausage with mead sauce.
I am also reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

The last fantasy book I read was a memory of light - the final book of the wheel of time series. Like a lot of people I found it a bit tedious in the middle of the series but it ended brightly enough.
Storm of Swords. The third book in the game of thrones series.

Probably the best in the series. My favorites in order are
3 5 2 1 4
Edit: Reading,
Gone Girl and The Book Thief
Ha! I hate opining knowing how much effort and emotion goes into creating a story (just think of someone making a face and saying "Ewwwww!" after tasting your mead) BUT if 4 is worse than 2, which I had to slog through I'm hoping 5 is worth the effort.
I haven't seen any of the TV series, which I understand is redeemed by showing lots and lots of beautiful nudity, which I endorse!
