Hey, Mil Street listeners, we're taking our show on the road. Please join us for a special live taping of Milk Street Radio at the Art of Cheese Festival in Madison, Wisconsin.

We'll be at the landmark Orphium Theater on Saturday, September 27th. I'll be hosting cheese trivia, taking your cooking questions with chef Tori Miller, handing out samples of some of the best cheese in the state,

and my favorite part, even get my fortune read with a block of cheese.

You will not want to miss that.

Tickets are on sale now at artofcheasefestival.com one more time,

art of cheesefestival.com, and we'll see you there.

This is Mill Street Radio from PRX.

I'm your host, Christopher Kimball.

To make a single drop of honey,

one beat might visit a thousand flowers,

and they're highly selective about which flowers they go to.

So if you've found out the yellow ones with the bilaterally symmetrical flowers are the most

rewarding, then you store that in your little bee head and seek out subsequently only those

flowers.

These are problem solvers, and they also experience emotions, recognize human faces, and

communicate with each other through dance.

They run around in a repeated, roughly figure 8 shape, and encoded in these movements

is both the direction and the distance to a rewarding source.

Later on the show, zoologist Lars Chitka reveals more of his amazing discoveries about the

mind of a bee.

But first I'm joined by Sylvan Mishima Brackett.

He's the chef owner of Rintaro in San Francisco, also former creative director at Chez Panisse.
