and by home I mean the BIG house'chelle has put organics and beekeepers out there for all to see.
Yes we CAN!
you too can do bees!
check out how good these photos makes ordinary folks feel
On Tuesday, March 24, the first known hive of bees at the White House arrived at their location on the South Lawn. You don't have to count on my crummy photo to see them: just stop by the fence on the Ellipse (south) side: two deeps and a medium of Maryland mixed breed bees, with known Russian and Caucasian genetics.
The White House beekeeper is Charlie Brandts, beekeeper for three years now.

Bees' brains morph to avoid mid-life crisis
Middle age for little buzzers comes quickly, at two to three weeks' old

Female worker bees begin adult life working in the hive, doing such things as taking care of the baby bees. By around 2-3 weeks of age, however — roughly equivalent to middle age in human years — they make a major career change, switching to foraging for nectar and pollen. The brains of nurse bees have higher levels of proteins involved in caste determination in the complex society of these insects. The brains of experienced foragers, on the other hand, have more proteins linked to other vital activities, such as energy production. Their proteomes (the set of proteins expressed by their genes) are quite different, the scientists conclude.
"Our study demonstrated clear brain proteome differences between honey bee nurse and forager subcastes with distinct social roles," the researchers write in the Journal of Proteome Research, a publication of the American Chemical Society
