I have begun working up some freeform cabs from some boytroidal chunks I have collected on Needle Peak, over the last 30 years. Most of these came from one trench I dug in, about half-way up the mountain in some Andesite.
When bees return to the hive, they preform the "Wiggle Dance" to direct the other bees to a food source.
A single beehive can make up to 100 lbs. of honey a year, but a single honeybee will only make 12 ozs. of honey in it's lifetime.
The average honeybee can fly up to 6 miles from the hive at 5 MPH with their wings beating 11,400 times per minute.
In their 6-8 week lifespan, a worker bee will fly the equivalent distance of 1 1/2 times the circumference of the earth.
A single bee can pollinate up to 100 flowers and crops each trip they take to gather pollen.
The hexagons that orm a honeycomb hold the most amount of honey with the smallest amount of material. (wax)
It takes about 556 worker bees to gather 1 pound of honey from about 2 million flowers.
Honeybees are the only insect that produces food consumed by humans.
Honeybees are not born with the ability to make honey, older bees have to teach them how to do it.
One honeybee visits 50-100 flowers during each collection trip.
In the soft magenta glow of a hydrogen lamp lies the fundamental building block of an optical fibre. This hollow glass preform can be drawn down to create a fibre the width of a human hair. Unlike the optical fibres used in connecting homes to the internet, this fibre can be used to trap a gas within its hollow core.
Gas-filled tubes have a wide variety of uses, most commonly in lighting as with the pictured hydrogen lamp. Miniaturising this into a fibre offers a new flexible alternative whilst maintaining a large active volume. The helical defect encircling the core was a result of a stress caused in the glass during the fabrication process.
As part of the FEMTO Project, this fibre will be used to trap an alkali metal vapour which when optically excited by a laser can be used in the development of an atomic clock.

what I worked on today at the HGMS clubhouse - trimming out and beginning to preform cabochons - somewhat delayed due to frozen water pipe - thawed out a couple of hours after I got there and cut some slabs, while waiting for water!
I have layed the preform on top of the slab that came off the chunk, before the one the cab is being made from. It gives you some idea of the varying thickness of the agate seam that runs through this large, pancake shaped thunderegg. I will add the dimensions later.
Who is it for whom we now preform,
Cavorting on a wire:
For whom does the boy
Climbing the ladder
Balance and whril-
For whom,
Seen or unseen
In a shield of light?

I know who?
