Headlines and Archives
Our work has attracted a lot of media attention. Many of the articles in popular magazines and on the web are incorrect. We are often "quoted" by reporters who haven't talked to us. We also found an article that quoted a man who claimed to have worked on our projects and who talked at great length about our work. However, we have never met this man, and don't know whether he exists.
The links listed on this page cover recent reports and some articles that we think captured our concept and mission. Some of these reports contain minor inaccuracies. In addition, we list stories that reflect what is happening with respect to beekeeping.
