Comment: Hi
I also heard the NPR interview and called in with
a jam making tip. I have tried for many years to
make jam with honey, usually it would end up being
syrup for ice cream and pancakes. Until I found Pamona's
pectin. It is a simple process and it works every
time. Pamona's can be found at Food Cooperatives
(Health food stores). Let's me be creative with
my fruit combinations and I know it will be jam when
it is done. You can use as little or as much honey
according to your sweet tooth. Using the honey in
jam allows the flavor of the fruit to come through,
doesn't mask the flavor like sugar does.ENJOY Michelle.

Comment: Hi
Holley, I was delighted to meet you at the luncheon
with Smoki the other day in Boston. Hope your tour
is going well. The honey was "sweet" as my kids would say. That's
a pop culture kid-speak term for "awesome". Write when
you get a chance.
Best, Felice Bochman

Comment: This was such a
wonderful book. I wanted to learn more about the magic
of beekeeping because I have alot of acreage. I haven''t
the nerve to be a beekeeper but will hire out to get
the same benefit. I just wanted to pass onto Holly this
sting remedy that was given to me by my father-in-law
- use vinegar - it does a great job!
| Thank You |

Comment: A bee story to share
- I attended an elementary school in the Texas Panhandle
that had a unique feature - one that I've never seen
or heard of since. In the middle of the main hallway
of the school sat a large, plexiglass box (hive). A plexiglass
tube ran from the hive to the outside. All day long,
bees came in and out of the hive - it was absolutely
fascinating to watch the inner workings of the bees.
I can still remember smelling the honey as I walked daily
through this hallway. It is one memory of my youth that
I will not forget. I suppose that the school had an arrangement
with a beekeeper to tend this fascinating and unique
hive. My early interest in bees prompted me to pick up
the book, and I am enjoying it immensely

Comment: The Sonoma County
Beekeepers Association presented a copy of Robbing
the Bees to Lela Dowling last night as a thank
you gift for years of drawing cartoons for our newsletter
(most of them have been published in Bee Culture magazine)
and many other good deeds. She was really impressed that
you had written a dedication in it just for her! Thanks
for doing that when you were in Sebastopol the other
night. I am enjoying my copy too! Let me know if you
want a photo of the book's being presented to her. I
can e-mail it to you very easily.

Comment: I
heard Holley being interviewed by Diane Rehm on NPR on
3/30/2005. Since I am a beekeeper, I am always happy
to hear what another beekeeper has to say! Holley was
a terrific guest. The honeybee is an amazing creature,
truly! I am ordering her book! The world would be a better
place if everyone had the chance to "'bee up close
and personal"' with honeybees...get to know a beekeeper,
or learn to be one! Thank you, Holley, for writing this
book!
Thank You

Comment: After reading
Robbing the Bees, I became obsessive about trying out
every variety of honey I could find. My favorite discoveries
so far have been fireweed,
Hawaiian kiawe honey (thick, pearly white--great
on crackers) and Tasmanian leatherwood (best
so far). Having always used generic, store-bought honey
in the past, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted
by the variety that's available. I've always enjoyed
honey, but since childhood there has only been one
dish that I simply cannot eat unless its smothered
in honey: my favorite comfort food, cream of wheat.
Whether made with milk or water, it just has to have
that swirl of honey on top in order to be complete!
Thank You
Brent |
