Link dump for April 29th, 2009 through June 10th, 2009:

• Coaxing bees into making honeycomb sculpture – I'm not sure how I feel about this ethically (actually, I'm pretty conflicted about this ethically), but it is gorgeous. If you could convince me that the pieces were constructed without harming the bees, I would say this was an amazing cross-species collaboration.
• Medusa as a Young Girl – I think it would be fun to have pets on my head!
• Bachmann compares gays to pedophiles on hate crimes bill – Argh! This woman just makes me so mad sometimes: “[A]pparently people who are practicing pedophiles would be considered protected under this legislation, but not, I understand, veterans, not, I understand, pregnant women, not, I understand, 85-year-old grandmothers would be protected under this law,” she said. “But who would be protected? A pedophile, someone who considers themselves gay, someone who considers themselves transgender, someone who considers themselves a cross-dresser? That is who is protected.”
