I just finished reading Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis. It tells the story of the mystery of colony collapse disorder and the bigger story of how necessary bees are to our lives.
It is written in the form of investigative journalism and is full of details and easy to read. Of course, I was ready to start bee keeping as I was reading the book, until I really thought of all that it would entail. I don't want to get stung by bees or have that many creatures to look after. I am still fascinated by bees and am now much more aware of their place in nature.
I do recommend it, especially if you are a nature loving, homeschool mom like me.
Libby liked picking it up and putting it in a bucket.
At first, all she would do was walk around in it because it felt different and she liked her foot prints.
I like the way she put 4 people in the infield and lots of people in the stands.
The last words Mandi said before she went to sleep were, "I had so much fun today!" It was opening day for her baseball league and they played their first game. She waited quite a long time to get her face painted and it was her idea to get her team emblem and her number on her face. She has moved up to machine pitch instead of coach pitch, so she struck out for the first time today, but she was okay with it. She even had to play outfield for the first time and she would much rather play infield, but she's still lovin' it!
