Ferret Journalist Infiltrates Secretive Bee Network
Roger, a reporter for the International Ferret Times, has pulled off a deep cover operation to expose the inner workings of a beehive. Thanks to an elaborate costume and months of work assimilating into bee culture, the journalist has finally produced a piece that could make his career.
“He really earned their trust,” says Mac Forsyth, Roger’s editor at the Times. “In return, they showed him everything – the honey recipes, the truth about stinging people. This feature is really going to change people’s perceptions.”

Dog Gets Lost in Bag of Pirate’s Booty
The phrase “he couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag” was not lost on Oscar, a 4-year-old dog from Philadelphia, PA, who was knocking back a snack of Pirate’s Booty when he got lost in the bag.
“He was stuck in there for a good hour and a half,” says Morgan Stiles, a source close to the situation. “He kept eating though. I guess he figured he might pop out the other side or something.”
