I was interviewed the other day for Ben's Bees. He had interviewed me once before for his podcast a few months ago, but this time we did it "via zoom" (actually some other program) broadcast live onto the youtube!

After it was finished I began to worry that people would accuse me of "cultural appropriation," and wished I had emphasized that everything I'm wearing was given to me as a gift by the local people. But already there's two comments from people by whose names appear to be Ghanaian, appreciating what I'm wearing, so that's a relief.

   "In the end, only kindness matters," this birdhouse when I first met it back in January, before I relocated it to my yard.

   And read more about the fascinating rafting behavior of red fire ants!

   Here's someone else's video of an impressive ant bridge across water. Please ignore the terrible music.

   The book I'm reading is this fascinating anthology (ant-thology???) about insects.

   And finally, here I get eaten by army ants in Nigeria. [fade to image of skeleton being crawled over by ants]
