Hello All, In the December 2001 issue of Bee Culture is one of the best articles I have read from Mark Winston in awhile. The article is on page fifteen and titled "Encounters With Humans". Mark shares a couple experiences from his private emails. One from a Art student wanting to get the picture on the cover of Mark Winston's book "The biology of the Honey Bee" put in tatoo form on his body. Another story which I found interesting was about a woman with a phobia concerning bees. Mark talked about the many weeks of sessions with a psychiatrist the woman had to rid herself of the phobia. In the first session the woman was able to tolerate being in the same room with a dead drone in a sealed jar. After many weeks (and dollars later!) the woman was actually able to hold the dead drone in her hand. The article has other stories and I have only added enough to get interest up but to me a very interesting article. Thanks Mark! Sincerely, Bob Harrison Odessa, Missouri
