Roundup: Busy Bees
I may hate to find moths in my kitchen, but when it comes to bees, those little striped insects can do no wrong. That's why I'd gladly decorate my house with bee wallpaper, stock bee glasses in my cupboard, and sweep curtains back with bee curtain holders. Of course, it's probably due in part to the fact that I'm the daughter of a beekeeper.
Casa Quickie: Keeping Bees Away From Your Pool
It's hard to enjoy your endless Summer if bee stings come hand in hand with taking a dip in your pool. But bees have many uses for water, including drinking and using as material to build hives. So, unless there's another source of water nearby, you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll be making a poolside visit.
How-To: Say Welcome Home to Honeybees
Are you worried about the frightening and mysterious rate of death in honeybees? If so, you're not alone. In the past two years, almost a third of the United States' beehives have disappeared or been destroyed, and no one knows quite why.
Etsy Find: Rae Dunn Little Bee Dish
Reeled into a great local sale a few weekends ago, I treated myself to a pair of small Rae Dunn dishes that read "EAT" and a larger one with a chartreuse border, perfect for serving up cheese and crackers for a party of two. They've since become a favorite possession of mine. So, I was ecstatic to come across Rae Dunn's pottery in Etsy.

Do you Have a Stylish Mum?
I don't know whether to feel sorry for or insanely jealous of Bee Schafer. The daughter of Anna Wintour has a tough act to follow, but at the same time it can't hurt to have a Mother with an impressive wardrobe to dip in to every now and then! The Mother and daughter were photographed at the Landscape Show hosted by Dodie Kazanjian last week looking quite the stylish duo.
What's the Deal With Bee Venom Therapy?
I have an irrational fear of bees and was certainly surprised to learn that some people choose to be stung in what is somewhat euphemistically called bee venom therapy. The procedure works like this: a bee, raised solely for therapeutic reasons, is picked up with tweezers and held against skin until it stings. Some people undergo 80 stings a day or more.
Reader Review of the Day: Burt's Bees Shea and Grapefruit Deep Conditioner
I like so many Burt's Bees products, but I'd never even heard of Burt's Bees Shea and Grapefruit Deep Conditioner ($8) until reader Yogaforlife reviewed it. It sounds great, though, and I'm really glad she mentioned it. She says:
"I normally use Pureology shampoo/conditioners to protect my color-treated hair in between salon visits, but I noticed that my hair felt really dry lately.
Reader Review of the Day: Burt's Bees Facial Cleanser
I love Burt's Bees, but given how essential oils like orange can affect my skin, I was hesitant to try its Burt's Bees Facial Cleanser ($8). Reader a million suns, however, actually saw her skin irritation go down when she used the product. She says:
"My skin has been extremely sensitive and reactive lately—and always fairly dry, since I live in Nevada—and every time I'd use my Neutrogena cleanser, my face would look red and blotchy.
