Join us on Wednesday for a screening of "Black Mirror: Hated in the Nation" – a thriller about a dystopian future when drone bees are used for pollination because real bees have died out.
There will be free popcorn and orange juice (orange is pollinated by bees btw!), and it's open to all LSE students, not just members.

LSE Honey 2016 is here! (We're yet to stick the labels on though.) Members can taste the honey (for free!) and also order your own jar – watch this space for more info.
How did it go from hive to jar? Here's how: https://lsebees.wordpress.com/2016/11/15/honeys-here/
Anyone wants to go for this tomorrow? It would be great if we could put together a team from the Beekeeping Society! Please message us if you're interested. Thanks!

Can you locate our beehives on Charles Booth's 1898 poverty map of London, and on a modern-day satellite image from Google Earth? See https://lsebees.wordpress.com/…/our-location-1898-and-today/
Many more of Booth's original maps and records are available through LSE Library!
Sorry if you tuned in today for our live broadcast only to be disappointed. We had a technical glitch. 
:( If we can retrieve the video we will make it available, though of course it won't be as exciting as watching it live. We will try to do better next time!

It's #ReadingWeek at #LSE! Are you finding it hard to focus? Tempted by "cafés and low places"? Take the advice of a 19th century French priest and join beekeeping!

Original French text:
"L'apiculture est encore un travail moral, puisqu'il éloigne du café et des mauvais milieux et qu'il met sous les yeux de l'apiculteur l'exemple du travail, de l'ordre, du dévouement à la cause commune." —Abbé Émile Warré, L'Apiculture Pour Tous...
English translation:
"Beekeeping is a moral activity. It keeps one away from cafés and low places and puts before the beekeeper an example of work, order and devotion to the common cause." —Abbé Émile Warré, Beekeeping for All
