Recently received this ponderous image courtesy of ace-photographer Anna Towle Although I thought I was done posting about Stockholm, Anna's picture stirred up a final reflective instinct Here's that same vista on my last evening in the city ONE MORE THING! Rarely is the question asked ... "Will digital beehives save us from colony collapse disorder"? If you-- a) don't know what colony collapse disorder is b) have ALWAYS wanted an answer to that question Read THIS article from Pacific*Standard http://www.psmag.com/navigation/nature-and-technology/will-digital-beehives-save-us-colony-collapse-disorder-75990/
I've been thinking about ... the BEES? ever since visiting Bee Urban in Stockholm HERE are Scotty and Julia carefully studying a honeycomb during our class trip to the Bee Urban HQ

Sometimes a single snack has the power to change the course of a person's life THIS delicious fried herring from Nystekt Strömming (in Stockholm, Sweden) is SO out-of-this-world amazing that a single bite was enough to make ALL 3 of us pause and consider the meaning of life And of course finishing our plates induced the best kind of freak out What was on that mind-blowingly delicious "Skåning" open-face sandwich?
"Nystekt Strömming " literally translates to "friend herring" AND the whole sandwich costs 40 SEK (Swedish Krona), which is about $6.25 ALSO all food —sandwiches & plates— are fried to order Still not convinced?
Look at this "Knäckis": fried herring, cucumber, dill & onion served on knäckebröd |
