According to technocratic fantasies, data will soon make politics irrelevant, and those who refuse to accept “what the data says” must be malevolent or stupid. It should come as no surprise if this view leads citizens to discredit data-talk entirely.https://t.co/hTpNeEWA86

Following the Wild Bees: The Craft and Science of Bee Hunting is a delightful foray into the pastime of bee hunting, an exhilarating outdoor activity that used to be practiced widely but which few people know about today. Thomas Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, vividly describes the history and science behind this lost pastime and how anyone can do it. Following the Wild Bees is both a unique meditation on the pleasures of the natural world and a guide to the ingenious methods that compose the craft of the bee hunter.
