It is two months since A World Without Bees was published. We have been rather remiss at keeping this blog up to date. Our excuse is partly that we have been so busy promoting the book, and keeping the day job going, that we’ve barely had time to draw breathe.
Last week, Alison appeared on the Richard and Judy show. Prior to that we had given radio interviews up and down the UK, and Alison was on the Radio 4 science weekly, Material World. We’ve also given a series of talks which began with a sell-out gig at the Hay Festival, followed by a talk in Oxford, two at The Guardian’s newsroom. This weekend we’re signing books at The Big Chill festival, and next Saturday we’re headlining Glastonbury, the town hall I might add!
It’s a great way to raise awareness about a very serious issue and the feedback we’ve had from the talks has been extremely positive and reassuring. Please post your thoughts on this website.
On Monday, we’re off to the annual meeting of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology at Warwick University. Why? The plenary seession is on Colony Collapse Disorder and some of the leading scientists quoted in the book will be giving the latest news on the ‘mysterious plague’. We’ll keep you updated.
