Wow, this is really cool! I was not aware of this movement prior to your newsletter. Kudos from trying something different. Where in NB was this held?

LOVED THIS, Bryn!!! (I do NOT want to meet an eel.)

Dad keeps bees - my brother and I used to love extracting the honey when we were little! We'd be in charge of turning the handle to make the barrel spin, and we'd be fending off any bees that had followed the scent of their honey right into the kitchen. It's interesting, actually - Dad a) doesn't like eating honey, b) is allergic to bee stings and c) nevertheless LOVES keeping bees.

c) has always won!

Couldn't resist liking this, solely for the playful title! What a great experience. When our daughter was young, she was fairly bug phobic. After a stint as a youth counselor; she was eating earthworms on a dare! Enjoy your humorous style and thanks for bringing us along!

Amazing, fair play! Thomas' research findings definitley resonate, I find myself more interested in non-competitive survival skills like foraging, not that I have many survival skills at all but I'm inspired to learn more after reading this!
