Other Activities 1997-2004. Editor in Chief of Ciencia al Día Internacional, an electronic science journal distributed over the Internet for the world’s Spanish speaking community: http://www.ciencia.cl/CienciaAlDia/ 2002-present. Beekeeping. One of the most interesting and fun activities one can engage in. I get to look at how 70,000 little creatures plus 1 queen and a few drones make their home and their food during the summer months and then take advantage of some of their work by extracting honey, pollen and propolis, and by making "mead", a delicious white wine made of honey. The first year, I harvested almost 95 lbs of honey from a single beehive. The challenges: keep the bees happy with their home (prevent swarming), keep the bees healthy without too much or no medication, help the bees survive the harsh winter of the northeast USA, and avoid getting too many bee stings.
