Beyond pollination, the very idea of the bee is ubiquitous in our culture: we can feel buzzed; we can create buzz; we have worker bees, drones, and Queen bees; we establish collectives and even have communities that share a hive-mind. In Buzz, authors Lisa Jean Moore and Mary Kosut convincingly argue that the power of bees goes beyond the food cycle, bees are our mascots, our models, and, unlike any other insect, are both feared and revered. In this fascinating account, Moore and Kosut travel into the land of urban beekeeping in New York City, where raising bees has become all the rage. We follow them as they climb up on rooftops, attend beekeeping workshops and honey festivals, and even put on full-body beekeeping suits and open up the hives. In the process, we meet a passionate, dedicated, and eclectic group of urban beekeepers who tend to their brood with an emotional and ecological connection that many find restorative and empowering. Kosut and Moore also interview professional beekeepers and many others who tend to their bees for their all-important production of a food staple: honey. The artisanal food shops that are so popular in Brooklyn are a perfect place to sell not just honey, but all manner of goods: soaps, candles, beeswax, beauty products, and even bee pollen. Buzz also examines media representations of bees, such as children?s books, films, and consumer culture, bringing to light the reciprocal way in which the bee and our idea of the bee inform one another. Partly an ethnographic investigation and partly a meditation on the very nature of human/insect relations, Moore and Kosut argue that how we define, visualize, and interact with bees clearly reflects our changing social and ecological landscape, pointing to how we conceive of and create culture, and how, in essence, we create ourselves. 410 0$aBiopolitics Series 606 $aHuman-animal relationships$zUnited States 606 $aHoneybee$xEffect of human beings on$zUnited States 606 $aHoneybee$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHoneybee$zUnited States 606 $aBee culture$zUnited States 606 $aBee products$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aHoneybee$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aBeekeepers$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vBiography 606 $aUrban bee culture$zNew York (State)$zNew York 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships 615 0$aHoneybee$xEffect of human beings on 615 0$aHoneybee$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHoneybee 615 0$aBee culture 615 0$aBee products 615 0$aHoneybee 615 0$aBeekeepers 615 0$aUrban bee culture 676 $a638/.1092097471 700 $aMoore$b Lisa Jean$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01046350 702 $aKosut$b Mary$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480323903321 996 $aBuzz$92477812 997 $aUNINA
