Grappling with the strange phenomenon of colony collapse disorder--the baffling disappearance of all bees from a hive that is often…
blamed for the honeybee's increasingly endangered status--New York City's hobbyist beekeeping communities have gone green. Lisa Jean Moore and Mary Kosut introduce beekeepers of all stripes: the careful cultivators of 'scientific' beekeeping groups, the passionately political radical 'backwards' beekeepers who hope to return the species to its most natural state, and DIY-influenced 'hipster' beekeepers who share a holistic approach to lowering their environmental impact. Though their approaches may differ, these beekeepers agree on one thing: to save the bee is to save our planet.

The Cambridge Hospital Community Health Network needed to gain a better understanding of its unit-of-service costs, which had been rising…
at a rate of 10% per year. The network's step-down costing system gave only aggregate costing information, and there was some concern that it might be inaccurately representing the true cost of the intern and resident program, the interpretive services department, and the use of nurse practitioners. So the Primary Care Unit (PCU) initiated a pilot activity-based costing program. The case provides detailed exhibits on the methods of allocating costs using activity-based drivers.
