This post is about something completely different from my previous posts - it is about honey bees!I am currently taking a class called "Entomology 2600: Biology of the Honey Bee" and its accompanying lab class, "Entomology 2640: Practical Beekeeping." I've been interested in this class since I was a freshman, but it is only offered in alternate years and I never seemed to be able to take it

I hate to keep you all waiting for more about Kenya, but I have been sidetracked and busy for the past few weeks.I spent a week in Cape Cod with my family...Then, I guided pre-freshman from Cornell on a 6-day backpacking trip in the high peaks of the Adirondacks.Now, I will be rock climbing in New Hampshire for a few days, before returning to Ithaca just in time to begin classes on Thursday!

from Sunday, June 29, 2008Day 5Breakfast at 6:30 am as usual (this would get progressively later by the end of the trip, when we were more tired...). After eating our fill of fresh mangoes and burnt toast (and the daily morning fight for the butter...I stuck with the peanut butter), we went out to study the time ungulates spend foraging versus being vigilant. On the way out, we once again saw

Wednesday, June 25, 2008Our adventures in Kenya began at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta airport. As Shawn Billerman and I landed, we felt like little kids, peeking out the window and trying to believe that we were finally actually in Africa! I actually bit my tongue to make sure that I was awake. Inside the airport, while waiting to retrieve our luggage, we were greeted by a nice big sign that said "

I am currently back in Ithaca, working once again in the lab. We all arrived back in the U.S. on Friday (July 11) after traveling for very many hours.I have to apologize for the lack of posts while in Kenya, which was the point of this blog! Unfortunately, we had some problems with the proxy server, the site not recognizing a Kenyan IP address, and so on. Furthermore, it turned out that we

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I am incredibly excited because in exactly one week, I will be departing the United States and traveling to Kenya for BioEE 265: Tropical Field Ecology and Behavior! I have been studying up on my mammalian and avian identification, and can't wait to see the African wildlife for real. I think I will end up studing much more on the very long plane
