In May 1895, Giuseppe Botti found in the great temple of Serapis, a pillar bearing a dedicatory inscription: "To the great god Serapis and sunnaoi (deities sharing the temple) for the safety of Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus". A few days later, parts of the Apis bull statue were found on the surface at the northeastern corner of the building leading to the underground galleries. The head was separated from the body as well as the tail and parts of the hooves. These parts remained for three years in the courtyard of the Alexandria municipality building until Chiess Bey, head of the museum committee of the municipal council, managed to obtain funds for its restoration. The Italian sculptor M.V. Marcucci took responsibility and pointed out the attaching point of the pillar under the belly because of a socket cut there.
This statue was probably dedicated to Hadrian or from the emperor himself to Serapis in the Alexandria temple, during his visit to Egypt in 130 AD. The bull was a sacred symbol of Osiris-Hapi, the god of Memphis, an Egyptian deity since Pharaonic times as a god of the underworld and a symbol of the annual resurrection of nature, and later on, turned into Serapis, and was worshipped by both Egyptians and Greeks.
The statue depicts the Apis bull in a naturalistic way, which appears clearly in the area below the chin. A layer of short hair appears on the forehead and two growing horns with the sun disk between them and a uraeus in front. The movement of the ears indicates sensitive listening, which alludes to the god responding to the supplication of its worshippers.

A bee numbed by the cold found in shade in a wet meadow in February. I put her in the sun on a dandelion flower where she greedily fed, before flying to the hive.
Une abeille engourdie par le froid trouvée à l'ombre dans une prairie humide en février. Je l'ai posée au soleil sur une fleur de pissenlit où elle s'est goulûment alimentée, avant de s'envoler vers sa ruche.

Il glomere è un ammassamento di api operaie che si stringono fra loro nei mesi invernali al fine di mantenere costante la temperatura all'interno di esso. Viene formato tra i favi mantenendo al centro parte delle scorte predisposte per superare la stagione fredda. Le api all'esterno del glomere possono sopravvivere a temperature molto rigide poiché ricevono periodicamente il cambio dalle api all'interno dello stesso.
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.
