Buzz! Beekeeping in the 1632 Universe, Part 2 Iver P. Cooper

This issue’s cover art comes from “Passing Fair” by Virginia DeMarce. That term is the source of confusion between up-timers and down-timers and something of a pun—but also a matter about which reasonable people can sharply disagree.

Part 2 of Iver P. Cooper’s beekeeping article on its potential in a new timeline addresses transplanting bees and beekeeping law.
