* “The bees of Beorn in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional Middle-earth”<\/a> (August 2022), a Bee Histories<\/em> article by a bee specialist. Warning: the site pops up a page-blocking overlay. If you want more on Tolkien, bees and honey-cakes, then the Tea with Tolkien<\/em> podcast had a guest episode “On Beorn & Beekeeping”<\/a> (2019) with beekeeper Daniel Stewart.<\/p>\n

* And finally, The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has seen Amazon’s viewing figures for That Recent TV Series, and reports this week that “only 37 percent” of buyers actually finished watching the eight-episode series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
