Shelley Stuart has researched whales and hagfish in the Gulf of Maine, dug archaeology in Iceland, cycled around Scotland and chased King Arthur around Southern England. She keeps bees for the honey, and has three eight-frame Langstrom hives, one of which was re-queened by a “northeast mutt.” Shelley writes about beekeeping in the North East region for Examiner.com. She has also written for Weill Medical Magazine, and has articles published in the Cornell Chronicle Online and eCALS e-publications, both at Cornell University.
