What other titles with these themes are >in the public press? Dave: Last year a fellow beekeeper was interested in Bumblebees and the possibility of renting them for pollination. He did try one hive/colony (whatever you call a bumblebee nest), but found that after it was at the rental site for a bit, the bumbles abandoned ship. Anyway, in the course of events he asked me to check with BEE-l about Bumble Books. I found out that IBRA in England carried a new book on the subject, but I cannot remember the name or any other details. IBRA has a web site, which you can locate at some web sites, or simply use a search engine to find them. Once there, send them an e-mail. My friend said it was a good book. I would call him but he is in bed by this hour.
