This week on A Taste of the Past Linda sat down with Holley Bishop. Bishop wrote "Robbing the Bees", a book about the history of beekeeping and her own experience helping bee-keepers "rob" hives of honey. For some further bee-keepery Linda and Holley were joined by Roberta's own Eddie Diaz and Brandon Hoy, who have been keeping bees in Williamsburg and Bushwick for well over a year now (and well before its current status as a legal hobby kicked in). Tune in for an engrossing look at the surprisingly complex world of bees, honey, their rich past and their uncertain future. This episode was sponsored by Fairway: like no other market.
