His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

He said he’d be happy to have the bees. Gilbert watched the beekeeper walk calmly over to the giant blob of bees and scoop them up with his bare hands. He carried the swarm back to his car and left. Gilbert was mesmerized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gilbert was a junior in high school, her parents finally capitulated to her demand for her own hive.

Now it’s the other senses.’[/pullquote]There isn’t much information about the tampering. Gilbert settled with the company that made the eye drops and, as part of the deal, she isn’t supposed to go into detail about it with the media. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-04-04-mn-366-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles Times\u003c/a> ran a short story about the tampering. It says, in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The FBI and the federal Food and Drug Administration are probing an incident in which a nurse was blinded by eye drops contaminated with a caustic chemical. “Her left eye looks like it melted and her right eye looks like it’s covered with white glue,” said Richard Critchlow, an attorney for Gilbert Van Zee Miller, 34, of Fairfax in Marin County.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilbert said her marriage ended when she lost her sight, and she couldn’t work as a nurse anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hospital gave her a job developing X-rays. She said that was the only place they were comfortable having a blind person work. Gilbert would sit in a small dark room all day, developing film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, she was in despair. After six months it reached a breaking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I made the decision, no more feeling sorry for myself,” Gilbert said, “No more hiding, no more being afraid because I am allowing whoever this person was to still hurt me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She then went to the state school for the blind in Albany, living there for six months and learning braille, how to orient herself and daily living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I learned a lot of basically the tricks of being blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>You Can Hear the Bees’ Waggle Dance\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A few years ago, a friend had some hives she needed someone to look after. She asked Gilbert if she could. At first Gilbert hesitated, but she decided to give it a try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Aerial Gilbert, a blind beekeeper in Petaluma']‘The dance, it kind of happens in a little circle. You’ll hear ‘bzzz bzzz bzzz,’ and it’s different patterns depending on how far away the pollen is.’[/pullquote]As soon as the hives arrived, Gilbert was relieved. She was ecstatic to have bees back in her life. And she realized that much of the information about the bees she had gathered before with her eyes, she could now gather with her ears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whenever Gilbert is out working on the hives, she is listening to them, keeping tabs on how they sound. She also bought some microphones to make recordings inside the hive. Those recordings give her an audio snapshot of the bees’ condition and more specific insight into what’s happening inside the hives. She can hear the waggle dance, which is the movement bees make to tell others where to find pollen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only can Gilbert hear the dance, she has started to notice variations in the sound depending on where the pollen is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The dance, it kind of happens in a little circle,” Gilbert said. “You’ll hear ‘bzzz bzzz bzzz,’ and it’s different patterns depending on how far away the pollen is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='bees' label='Related Coverage']Getting back to beekeeping was a triumph for Gilbert, but that’s just one part of her life: She fell in love again and remarried. She has worked at a nonprofit called Guide Dogs for the Blind, was an active volunteer and has traveled extensively. It’s been a full life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years ago, Gilbert donated one of her kidneys to a friend. The friend recovered, but the surgery didn’t go well for Gilbert: She suffered a rare complication that caused her remaining kidney to start failing. Gilbert has managed it for years, but now, she needs someone to donate a kidney to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilbert has had to spend a lot of time at home because of her health, and has been kept from many of the things she loves, like rowing. She has managed to continue taking care of her hives, and after losing bees once in her life, she doesn’t want to go without them ever again.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An Entire Democratic Process Unfolding in a Hive\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Gilbert is not the first blind person to take an interest in bees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Aerial Gilbert, a blind beekeeper in Petaluma']‘They came in the mail, along with the hive … the postman was terrified.’[/pullquote]Swiss entomologist Francois Huber started losing his sight at age 15. In the 18th century, he made major discoveries about the lives of bees. He proved that bees use their antennae to communicate and that queens mate in the air. And he described how male drone bees — worker bees responsible for mating with the queen — were killed at the end of each summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And those who are blind aren’t the only one listening to bees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers like Tom Seeley at Cornell University are recording them to better understand their behavior. Seeley wrote a book called “Honeybee Democracy” that’s about the decision-making process inside a hive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeley said you can listen to an entire democratic process unfolding inside a hive: You can hear the high-pitched buzz of worker bees telling the queen it’s time to fly to a new home. There are short, high-pitched bursts when a bee disagrees with some decision inside a hive and wants to vote against doing it. And you can hear the waggle dance that Gilbert has recorded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilbert’s life is now filled with the beauty and intricacy of all these sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story comes to us from Chris Hoff and Sam Harnett of “The World According to Sound” podcast. They’re partnering with the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco to help us reimagine California in the rich way blind people experience it every day.

Wearing waders, they trudged through chest-deep water to check surveillance cameras and cage traps where they leave sweet potato pieces to entice the invasive rodents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, wildlife officials removed almost 90 nutria from this pond. Gerstenberg and McCain have returned because they believe at least a few nutria are back. But on this morning they found only muskrats, smaller swamp-dwelling rodents, and released them back into the pond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to get out here and find them and eradicate them before they become fully established throughout our Central Valley,” said Gerstenberg, a senior Fish and Wildlife biologist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Central Valley is the United States’ most productive agricultural region, responsible for more than half the nation’s fruits, vegetables and nuts, including almost all its apricots, table grapes, carrots, asparagus and tree nuts. Federal Department of Agriculture figures put the market value of Central Valley agricultural production in 2017 at almost $29 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damage to the region’s soil or water infrastructure would be devastating to the economy and diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would mean no more sushi because the alternative would be to buy rice from Japan or Korea, where the price is five times higher,” said Daniel Sumner, director of the Agricultural Issues Center at the University of California-Davis. “Kiss off carrots, or live without table grapes in the summertime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11776651\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-970725360.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11776651\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-970725360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-970725360.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-970725360-160x95.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-970725360-800x473.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-970725360-1020x604.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A gathering of nutria dining on leaves. \u003ccite>(Yann Schreiber/AFP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Trail cameras and landowners have helped locate the elusive, nocturnal creatures over an area of almost 13,300 square miles that wildlife officials are evaluating for nutria habitats.

Because the animals are so social, they will lead the team to other nutria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before year’s end, Fish and Wildlife will start genetically testing the nutria to determine where they came from.
