My name is Emmet Brady, and this is my place to showcase a fresh perspective on our 6- and 8-legged friends. The idea came about for "Your Entomolo-Garden" through my desire to share a deeper appreciation for insects with the world.  I research Cultural Entomology which explores the parallels and connections between insects and humans. This garden is about my content AND user generated content as well. I see YGS as a premiere hub for gardeners, especially ones that enjoy being online and sharing new ideas.  In other words, people working in their gardens and on thier community. 

Your Entomolo-Garden Oakland, CA

    If you have a moment, can you help me figure out a situation I am enduring with my hive of Carnilians... They hate me... At least I feel that way. My husband wearing no protection can get within an inch of their hive & they could care less, even with the lid removed. Me? I get dive bombed. The smoker makes no difference. Do I stink? giving off some odor or body language? does that even matter? I do not wear perfume/use scented soap or scented deodorant. So I'm not sure what is causing their reaction.Seriously, I now just want to hand over the beekeeping to him being I now suffer appendage and eyes swelling up from their upsets.Can you help me understand what is going on?

    I put this up in a blog comment here: http://blog.yourgardenshow.com/blog/counting-bees/Bees are increasingly in the news -- latest press has the United Nations declaring the bee disappearance a global problem.  Entomolo-Garden has taken the lead in bees (and other bugs) in the San Francisco area.  His garden is here: http://www.yourgardenshow.com/users/Entomolo-garden/your-entomolo-gardenThese days, he's helping spread the buzz about "Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Trying to Tell Us?" a movie just coming out which offers some inspiring insights for gardeners like us.  The opening dates in the Bay Area are: Friday, March 25 @ The Roxie in SF - 7:00 pm Sunday, March 27 @ The Bluelight Theatre in Cupertino - 7:00 pm  Friday, April 8 @ the Elwood Theatre in Berkeley - 7:00 pm Your Entomolo-Garden and the Insect News Network will be there at each opening - and he's passionate and compelling!  Don't miss it!
