The Banda Islands are undiscovered gems in the sparkling Banda Sea. Formerly known as the Spice Islands, they rose to global prominence in the age of exploration. Today, they are sublimely sleepy with friendly villages, spice plantations, and world-class diving and snorkeling, with the volcano Gunung Api looming over the main town, Bandaneira. The islands' remoteness and difficulty of access has preserved their culture and natural heritage to a large extent, but that may change as more hydrofoil ferries and flights reach these once-uncharted islands.

Western honey bee
Two of our neighbors keep bees; just across the street and next door to the south. The hot weather seems to have increased their water needs dramatically, something that would seem obvious but which I hadn't even considered. They have water near the hives but since the last few days have been in the '100's' they discovered our bird bath. We welcome them as we do most all creatures (excepting rattlers, black widow spiders and scorpions [and possibly roaches]).
The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide. The genus name Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera means "honey-bearing", referring to the species' tendency to produce a large quantity of honey for storage over the winter.
Like all honey bees, the western honey bee is eusocial, creating colonies with a single fertile female (or "queen"), many sterile females or "workers," and small proportion of fertile males or "drones." Individual colonies can house tens of thousands of bees. Colony activities are organized by complex communication between individuals, through both odors and the dance language.
The western honey bee was one of the first domesticated insects, and it is the primary species maintained by beekeepers to this day for both its honey production and pollination activities. With human assistance, the western honey bee now occupies every continent except Antarctica. Because of its wide cultivation, this species is the single most important pollinator for agriculture globally. A number of pests and diseases threaten the honey bee, especially colony collapse disorder.
Western honey bees are an important model organism in scientific studies, particularly in the fields of social evolution, learning, and memory; they are also used in studies of pesticide toxicity, to assess non-target impacts of commercial pesticides.

A closer look. Based on my experience, this species is tend to be more aggressive than the common Apis cerana bee. This bee still sting even you do smoke them. This bee produce more honey than the common apis cerana.
Spring is finally here! Probably Apis mellifera (Czech: Včela medonosná) feeding on sap from tree. Prague, Czech Republic.
The giant honey bee. Abohar, Punjab state, India. This species makes a large comb out in the open, often hanging from a tree limb, or on a wall. It's about twice as long as a European honey bee.
The effects of the passing of Steve Jobs on a database connected to the Twitter streaming API and grabbing tweets about "apple"
The peak would have been considerably bigger if we were connected to more than the Spritzer hose (as the maximum number of tweets it will send out is only ~1% of public statuses and we peaked at around 51 tweets/second).
I volontari di Greenpeace hanno organizzato oggi attività di sensibilizzazione in 21 città italiane per chiedere il bando dei pesticidi dannosi per api e altri impollinatori, l’estensione del bando europeo ai neonicotinoidi e investimenti in pratiche agricole sostenibili. Indossando dei costumi, i volontari dell’organizzazione ambientalista hanno inoltre rappresentato le api costrette a lasciare il loro habitat naturale per colpa dei pesticidi che mettono a rischio la loro sopravvivenza.

Pembakaran terbuka, sama ada disengajakan atau tidak (jelas ini disengajakan), ia sepatutnya tidak dilakukan pada masa sekarang. Namun ada manusia yang tidak senang duduk kalau tidak melihat api marak di rumput kering.
Kebakaran sebegini kalau bomba mempunyai kelengkapan mencukupi pasti telah dibom dengan bom air menggunakan helikopter. Kemudian cari si kaki bakar untuk dihadapkan ke muka pengadilan, biar jadi pengajaran kepada kaki bakar yang lain.
Apis is a god from egyptian mythology.

Per tutelare i consumatori e l'ambiente e per superare l'attuale crisi degli impollinatori in Europa sono già diffuse pratiche di "Agricoltura Ecologica". Questa è l'essenza di uno studio pubblicato da Greenpeace International - presentato oggi a Roma presso il ristorante Open Colonna (Roof garden Palazzo delle Esposizioni) - che integra ricerca scientifica e esperienza pratica di agricoltori e imprenditori che ormai applicano la moderna agricoltura sostenibile in tutta Europa. Durante la presentazione, lo chef Antonello Colonna ha presentato alcuni suoi piatti realizzati con ingredienti che dipendono dall'impollinazione delle api. Questi insetti infatti non si limitano a produrre miele, come molti pensano. Un terzo del cibo che mangiamo e la maggior parte della flora spontanea dipendono dalla loro opera di impollinazione.
