Have your say on a future Honeybee Histories essay
Hello subscribers to Honeybee Histories! Now that we’re into our fourth year of this newsletter, I wanted to start being a bit more interactive and I thought I’d start by offering you a choice for some future essays.
What would you like to hear about in the varied history of honeybees and beekeeping? I have selected three topics for you to choose between, but I am more than happy to hear other ideas from you as well. Whichever topic gets the most votes, will have a two or three-part series of essays later in 2025.
The options are:
A history of Lorenzo Langstroth’s movable frame hive.
An analysis of the ‘father’ of English beekeeping, Charles Butler’s The Feminine Monarchie published in 1609
A study of Aristotle’s impact on knowledge about honeybees
The poll will remain open for 1 week, at which point I’ll start researching!
If there is something else that you would like me to bring to Honeybee Histories, please add a comment in the chat to tell me about it, as I would love to hear about your ideas and interests.
