The site is home to the Blackgang Chine amusement park, established in 1843 by Victorian entrepreneur Alexander Dabell, whose descendants have owned it ever since. It is allegedly the oldest theme park in the UK, and famous for its life-size plastic dinosaurs. Originally a general-purpose scenic and curiosity park, it featured a whale skeleton and landscaped paths down the chine to a waterfall and the beach below. The paths were swept away in the early 1900s, and the continuing coastal erosion has since obliterated the chine itself and forced the owners to repeatedly move the cliff top facilities inland. The park's focus now is themed entertainments for families with young children. The same owners run a sister site, the Robin Hill countryside adventure park.
The owners were considering moving all of the attractions at Blackgang Chine to Robin Hill due to the continuing erosion. However it has been decided to phase out the children's attractions, and aim for a more adult-orientated heritage centre.
Blackgang is also the name of the nearby village. According to a May 2000 talk to the Isle of Wight Postcard Club by the present owner, Mr Simon Dabell, the etymology is simply "black pathway" (the original appearance of the chine), but the theme park understandably fosters the interpretation of a smuggling origin. Thus visitors to the park are greeted by a gigantic fibreglass smuggler between whose legs they must pass to enter.
Cliff top walks in and around the area give panoramic views of the English Channel and the south-western Isle of Wight coast. Blackgang is also notable for dinosaur fossils and the nudist Blackgang Beach.
Blackgang was the birthplace of the actress and comedienne Sheila Hancock.

Die Honigbienen (Apis) sind eine Gattung aus der Familie der Echten Bienen (Apidae). Die Gattung umfasst je nach taxonomischer Auffassung sieben bis zwölf staatenbildendeArten, von denen die meisten nur in Asienheimisch sind.
Für die weltweite Imkerei hat die Westliche Honigbiene die größte Bedeutung; in vielen asiatischen Ländern wird auch die dort ursprünglich vorkommende Östliche Honigbiene in einfachen Klotzbeuten oder Höhlungen von Mauern gehalten. Diese beiden Arten brüten im Schutz von Höhlen und konnten sich dadurch sehr weit aus den tropischen Regionen heraus in gemäßigtere Klimazonen ausbreiten, wodurch sich insbesondere bei der Westlichen Honigbiene regional verschiedene Unterartenherausgebildet haben. Eine natürliche Grenze der Besiedelung wird oft durch Gebirge oder Inseln gebildet.
Daneben gibt es die wild lebenden Arten mit frei hängenden Nestern, die in bescheidenem Umfang zur Honiggewinnung genutzt werden, vor allem die Riesenhonigbiene und die Zwerghonigbiene – dies wird als Honigjagdbezeichnet. Der Kliffhonigbiene droht dadurch die Ausrottung.

A honey bee (or honeybee) is any member of the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Currently, only seven species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 44 subspecies, though historically six to eleven species are recognized. The best known honey bee is the Western honey bee which has been domesticated for honey production and crop pollination. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. Dome other types of related bees produce and store honey, including the stingless honey bees, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees. The study of bees, which includes the study of honey bees, is known as melittology.

Apis was the most important bull deity in Egypt. Apis had to meet certain appearance requirements. One of them was a triangular pale spot on the forehead engraved on this statue as well. At its head Apis has a sun disk and in front of it is a Uraeus-serpent.

Honeybees, like most insects, look at the world through compound eyes. These are made of hundreds of small simple eyes called ommatidia. The images received by all the ommatidia are put together in the insect's brain to give it a very different way of seeing the world. This was taken in my garden.
