The honeybee, Apis mellifera, is the proclaimed state insect of over ten states including North Carolina. A hard working and ecologically important species, the honeybee is one of the animal pollinators responsible for the pollination of nearly 75% of the world's 115 leading agricultural crops. Though other insects, birds, and bats are also pollinators, the growth and health of crops are majorly dependent on honeybees. This is a great example of a keystone species as other species rely heavily on them and ecosystems could collapse without them. It's well known that honeybee populations have been declining for two decades (more than a 90% decline) mainly due to varroa mites and disease. Colony Collapse Disorder, an event in which the majority of worker bees abandon the hive and queen, was recognized as a serious threat in 2006 and it's thought to have been caused by by pesticides and habitat destruction, as well as parasite infestations. However, it was reported that the number of commercial honeybee colonies rose 3% in 2017 thanks to the work of beekeepers and the EPA's policy that prohibits the use of certain neonicotinoid pesticides while bees are present. Likewise, there's been a development of approved varroa mite control products. The rise in populations is hopeful but there is still more work to be done to ensure the stability of this species.

JAMA Mobile App:
JAMA Mobile:
Lots of buzz about the new JAMA mobile app being temporarily free.
Here's how it works. It is not a downloadable app, but a
mobile-accessible web page. You try to access the web page, and it
asks you to register and create an account. The app includes ten of
the most popular journal titles in the JAMA Network.
After you create an account, you can then use the app to browse new
articles, specific journal titles, search, and read articles. All good
stuff.
If worked perfectly on my CPU in Chrome. Unfortunately, when I tried
it on my iPad all I got was a blank pale grey screen with a dark gray
bar at the top. Now, my iPad doesn't have the newest version of iOS,
but frankly I am still awfully surprised that a web app is not
backwards compatible, and I suspect there may be other accessibility
problems with the app. My iPhone has the same version of iOS as my
iPad, but it worked fine on that, so I'm a bit confused about why the
tech problems. I also was a tad unhappy that when I clicked on the
arrow button to forward the article, the only choices were to email a
link to myself or someone else. No social media integration, no option
to Tweet or post to Facebook.
Still, right now it's free, so if you work in healthcare in any
fashion, no matter how tenuous, give it a try.

FOSTER THE PEOPLE - 96.5 the BUZZ's Beachball 7 - 2012 - Main Stage @ Livestrong Sporting Park - 06/02/2012
Meet Buzz, Buzz spend his first eight years on the race track and now has found a home as the first horse in my daughters start-up adaptive riding program. Buzz found his way to my daughter through ReRun a program dedicated to finding homes for Thoroughbreds off the track that also offers volunteer opportunities to at-risk youth. My daughter is very excited about Buzz and starting her own program here at home after spending many years on the West Coast working in adaptive riding programs and developing a program in Turkey for the Turkish Riding Federation.
As always thank you in advance for comments and favs they are greatly appreciated.

Our Daily Challenge -- Dreaming.
The new Canon EOS-M was announced today. It's Canon's first mirrorless system camera, and it looks like it is basically a Rebel in a smaller body. A lot of Canon enthusiasts seem to be sorely disappointed. It isn't competition for the higher end mirrorless cameras from Fuji and Sony. It is closer to Nikon's cute little 1, except that it doesn't come in pink. One review I read said it is targeted at "latte moms" rather than prosumers.
Nevertheless, I think Buzz secretly wants it. I think he even dreams of having a camera small enough to fit in my purse with him that comes with an adapter that makes it fully compatible with existing Canon EF lenses.
Of course, Buzz's camera wish list is pretty long and definitely steeper than his budget. A new purse camera might have to wait. We still need to be able to pay for lattes, after all.
I took these closeups of a fly I found buzzing in my kitchen. I had to use an old sodium lamp to light it as it was too dark, and I didnt have time to set up a tripod - so I grabbed my only free lamp and made the best of what I could from it. The white balance was totally screwy (inventive uni students know what I mean) but when compensated for it actually gave a really cool effect. I plan to reshoot, now that I see the quality I can get.
I had a Simpsons Buzz Cola can saved from the 7-11 promotions which apparently exploded. I think these CDs were sitting on my shelf for about a day, soaking up the cola. I believe this is another step in the Autechre curse. Basically, that gold monochromatic CD (Tri Repatae++ by Autechre) is the third copy of that CD I have bought. I lost the first one, and I lent the second one to a co-worker who then got arrested for drug possession and went to jail. Now on my third copy, the liner notes gets completely soaked in cola. I can clean the CDs, but I still think this CD is cursed. I have a friend who has the same CD, and he too has had issues, including lending it to a friend who never returned it. I refuse to buy this CD a fourth time!

Buzz trimming the kite & Ralf on the helm, staying ahead of the competition as we headed downwind in our last race saturday...
unfortunately at the leeward mark, as we tried to drop the spinnaker, its halyard got jammed in a cleat on the mast, which lead to all sorts of troubles, and we did not finish well in this race as a result. but adding the three races together for saturday, we took 3rd place out of 16 Express 27s, quite exciting for my first day sailing on this type of boat!
