The joke may have fallen flat, but this time no one could blame Bill Maher. Sure, it happened on the May 4, 2007 installment of his show Real Time With Bill Maher, but CNN personality and senior medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta was the one delivering the punch line, and it seems he was the only one in the room who believed the issue of Earth's mysteriously vanishing honeybees was a joke.

Bees
8 Lectures by Rudolf Steiner
Introduction by Gunther Hauk

With an essay on the Art of Joseph Beuys by David Adams
In his lectures on Bees in 1923, Rudolf Steiner predicted the dire state of the honeybee today. He said that, within fifty to eighty years, we would see the consequences of mechanizing the forces that had previously operated

organically in the beehive. Such practices include breeding queen bees artificially. The fact that over sixty percent of the American honeybee population has died during the past ten years, and that this trend is continuing around the world, should make us aware of the importance of the issues discussed in these lectures. Steiner began this series of lectures on bees in response to a question from an audience of workers at the Goetheanum.

From physical depictions of the daily activities of bees to the most elevated esoteric insights, these lectures describe the unconscious wisdom of the beehive and its connection to our experience of health, culture, and the cosmos.

Bees is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the true nature of the honeybee, as well as those who wish to heal the contemporary crisis of the beehive. This volume also includes an essay by David Adams From Queen Bee to Social Sculpture: The Artistic Alchemy of Joseph Beuys. (Copy excerpt from www.Skylarkbooks.co.uk). This book is also available on Amazon.com.

This book has great imagery, a story-line about a particular busy bee to keep the child's interest from page-to-page. It was a delight to see specific vocabulary in regard to the life and activities of a bee. Young children will learn the basics of how honey is made, how bees communicate and their general life cycle. (Amazon reviewer: Angela Zaev)
