Jay Smith was one of the great beekeepers and queen breeders of all
time. There are many queen breeding books by scientists or
small-scale breeders, but this is by a beekeeper who raised
thousands of queens every year. This is much more applicable to
practical queen rearing. This is also a method that does not
require grafting, good for those of us who can't see well enough to
graft, and does not require the purchase of special equipment, good
for those of us lacking in the funds to buy one of the graftless
systems on the market.

Turn on a switch and from the nearest bulb out pours light from . .
. somewhere; turn on a faucet and
water appears. Wires, pipes, and roads support the lives we lead,
but the average person doesn't know where they go or even how they
work. In "On the Grid," Scott Huler takes the time to understand
the systems that sustain our way of life, starting from his own
quarter of an acre in North Carolina and traveling as far as
ancient Rome.
Each chapter follows one element of infrastructure back to its
source. Huler visits power plants,
watches new asphalt pavement being laid, and traces a drop of water
backward from the faucet to the
Gulf of Mexico. He reaches out to guides along the way, both the
workers who operate these systems
and the people who plan them.
"" "On the Grid" brings infrastructure to life and details the ins
and outs of our civilization with fascinating,
back-to-basics information about the systems we all depend on.
