I was listening to NPR on Saturday morning and heard reporter Robert Krulwich introduce the University of Illinois’ May Berenbaum, author of our forthcoming Fall 2010 book Honey, I’m Homemade: Sweet Treats from the Beehive across the Centuries and around the World. I thought it might be a bit premature to promote the book but in my morning haze I was just happy to hear one of our authors on the radio.

I wasn’t prepared however for the topic of conversation.  Apparently there is a company that etches the image of a fly in urinals to improve the aim of human males (if you know what I mean), and May-the-entomologist was on the show to speak about flies, and, well, listen for yourself.
