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."-- Publisher information. 650 0 Urban bee culture|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh2011004566|zNew York (State)|zNew York.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007751-781 650 0 Beekeepers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85012829|zNew York (State)|zNew York|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n79007751-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Honeybee|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85061857|zNew York (State)|zNew York.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007751-781 650 0 Bee products|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85012799|zNew York (State)|zNew York.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007751-781 650 0 Bee culture|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85012792|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n78095330-781 650 0 Honeybee|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85061857|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n78095330-781 650 0 Honeybee|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85061857|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00002758|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Honeybee|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85061857|xEffect of human beings on|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00007579|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Human-animal relationships|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh85062838|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 Urban bee culture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1895764 650 7 Beekeepers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/829730 650 7 Honeybee.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/959952 650 7 Bee products.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/829566 650 7 Bee culture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/829545 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354981 650 7 Human-animal relationships.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/963482 651 7 New York (State)|zNew York.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1204333 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Kosut, Mary.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2009058384 856 42 |3Cover image|uhttp://www.netread.com/jcusers/1313/2800845 /image/lgcover.9780814763063.jpg 901 MARCIVE 20231220 948 |d20160930|clti|tlti-aex 994 C0|bRID
