Cormac's Update 30 Days In China: I spent a month in China introducing my child to his Chinese grandparents. I thought I'd spend some time thinking about how to get some work out there. After all I will be travelling there at least once a year for the rest of my life.  Here's my analysis on how the Chinese use the internet.

You can read more about this story on our blog post. Why not post your views on this either in the comments or via email. Nick's Update 2 years of bees: It’s over two years since I started to keep bees, and the start of Bright Beehive. In that time I have gained confidence handling bees, and learnt a huge amount, mainly about what I don’t know.  For instance, I am embarrassed that I haven’t seen my queen bee, although she is obviously in the hive.
