Saving the Honey Bee, Saving the Earth – Addressing Colony Collapse Disorder Naturally (with Gunther Hauk)
Saturday, April 19
10 a.m.-12 p.m.
Fee: Donations to Spikenard Farm, a non-profit research and educational institution are appreciated
Honey bees are responsible for 70% of the pollination of fruits and vegetables. Without their services, there would be no harvest. In recent years, half the world's honey bees have disappeared from a mysterious disease called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Though many theories have been postulated, no one knows for certain what is causing this disease. Methods for strengthening the vitality and promoting the survivability of honey bees, however, are known. Gunther Hauk is the author of, Toward Saving the Honeybee, and is President of Spikenard Farm in Carrollton, Illinois, where he is creating an apiary and honeybee sanctuary. Learn what can be done to address this serious challenge to our environment.
Learn more details, including how to pre-register, on our website HERE. All events held at Schlafly Bottleworks.

11th Annual Tionól– Friday-Saturday, April 4-6
Concert and Céilídh at The Tap Room April 4
Tionól is an Irish word meaning a gathering for sharing a common interest, and we think it describes what this event is all about – bringing together some of the world’s best musicians, providing places for people to gather, play music, and share and pass along traditions.
Enjoy an Oatmeal Stout and hear some of the best traditional Irish music in the world on Friday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m as the 11th annual Tionól weekend kicks off. Following the concert, we’ll push back the chairs and work up a thirst with a traditional Irish céilídh dance – like square dancing to Irish music. It’s easy and fun and there’ll even be a teacher to help guide you through the steps. Afterwards, relax with another of your favorite Schlafly Beers and enjoy one of the many traditional music sessions taking place. The concert and ceili are $15 at the door.
For information on the workshops on Saturday and the Saturday concert at The Sheldon Concert Hall, visit the festival’s website at www.tionol.org.

| TOP FERMENTATION: Tom Schlafly's monthly column |
April Fools’ Day is an ideal time to honor the memory of Karl Friedrich von Münchhausen, a German baron who lived from 1720 to 1797 and whose exploits were published for an Anglophone readership in 1785 in The Surprising Adventures of Baron Münchhausen, by Rudolf Erich Raspe. Considering that Baron Münchhausen’s purported feats included riding cannonballs, flying to the moon and pulling himself out of a swamp by his own hair, April 1st is indeed an appropriate day on which to recount them. Somewhat more plausible is the report that the baron, who hailed from Bodenwerder, once drank a mug beer of in Königsberg (later renamed Kaliningrad), thereby prompting a subsequent mayor of Bodenwerder to send an ancient silver thaler to Kaliningrad as deferred payment for the brew.
While most of the foregoing information about Münchhausen is fairly widely known, I’m indebted to an historically alert reader (HAR) named Marshall Hier for making me aware of a coincidence most historians seem to have overlooked. According to Hier the HAR, the name Karl Friedrich Münchhausen, which was linked with tall tales in the minds of many, was the likely inspiration for the name Charles F. Murchison, which was the pseudonym used in one of the most ingenious hoaxes ever perpetrated in the history of dirty tricks in American politics.
