The Stinger Family ... Honey Bees - The Wonderful World of Bees

Honey bees belong to the insect family. Like all insects the bee has three body parts, the head the thorax and the abdomen. It has other parts too like the antennae and the spiracles plus the legs and the other parts. Bees have a proboscis too just like the butterfly. The proboscis is the tongue of the bee or of any insect. But the head the thorax and the abdomen are the major parts.

Honey bees are social insects, they live like a community. I'll name some other social insects, bumble bees, paper wasps, ants and more.

Honey bees have a life cycle. The queen bee lays eggs. When a baby bee hatches it kind of looks like a maggot. The nurse bees feed the larva different food depending on what kind of bee it is. Then it is sealed in a cell along with some food, that means it's going through a metamorphosis. Then when it comes out, it is a house bee. After three days it becomes a nurse bee. Ten days later it becomes a wax making bee. It's job is to make wax of course! A few weeks later it becomes a guard bee. This is the last job a bee has and that is the forager bee. That is the most important job because that bee collects nectar to give to the rest of the colony. When the hive gets too full the queen bee allows another queen larva to live. She then takes the drone bees and some worker bees off to start another colony.

Bees zip from flower to flower collecting nectar to bring back to the hive to make into honey. Honey bees make honey by eating nectar and then they make a frame shaped like a hexagon out of wax. They fill the hexagons with honey. They also eat the honey. People eat honey too. It would be cool to watch a bee eat.

The honey bees home is called a hive. The beehive is made of something called beeswax. Bees wax is something that a bee makes. Bees use their back legs to pass wax to their front legs. It would be cool to watch a bee do that! The inside of a bees hive looks like a bunch of six sided shapes.

A bees enemies are a spider, a praying mantis and sometimes fish. Another enemy could be people.

Honey bees help a lot of plants survive that would be endangered by now. Bees help seeds develop by collecting pollen and taking it from flower to flower. That is called pollinating the flower or plant.

Bees talk by dancing in a figure eight. When a bee finds nectar for the colony, she finds her way home. To tell the rest of the bees where the nectar is it dances in a figure eight. Her dance tell the rest of the forager bees how close or far away the food is to the hive. Different dances mean different things.

The Sting

Usually bees sting once and then they die. But the queen can sting, pull the stinger out and sting again. A queen can also live three to five years. A regular bee lives three to five months but some live longer.

Basement Insulation - Getting Ready for the Cold (and Hot)

Heat naturally flows from a warmer area to a cooler one. It does this in only three ways: conduction, where heat is transferred directly from mass to mass; convection, the movement of heated air from one space to another (hot air rises, heavier cool air sinks); and radiation, which simply means that any warm body gives off heat toward a cooler one

The function of insulation is to minimize the radiation and convection transfer of heat with a minimum of solid conduction so that our homes stay warmer in cool weather and cooler in warm weather.

In this section we review the merits and uses of various types of well-known insulations and inform you on how best to evaluate R-values. ...

COOL HOUSE - House on Stilts *****

SEISMIC SHOCKS is what Indians fear the most, and that is understandable after what we witnessed in Bhuj on the fateful Republic Day in 2000 or in Latur and Usmanabad a few years earlier. The ghastly pictures of houses and buildings falling over, people running for cover, phantom limbs twitching underneath the concrete and the huge mess that it left behind which took months to clear up, should make one introspect. Is concrete really worth it?

"No," declares Parikhshet Nayyar, who claims to have come up with a novel pre-fabricated housing solution called Catapult Instafab, "People need to think it all over again. The West has already embraced newer ways to construct their houses and they have forsaken the use of concrete altogether." So what is it that he offers as a change?

"No bricks. No mortar. No sand. A house on stilts with walls, floor and ceiling made of steel frame, wire mesh, plywood, glass wool and thermocol, etc., in an arrangement that is `as strong as concrete' fitted together by nuts and bolts. It is resistant to earthquakes and is not permanent, though the material it is made of is. It can be dismantled anytime and refitted without putting in a lot of effort," maintains Parikhshet. "It is as temporary or permanent as your plans to stay at one place are."

And that's not all, it seems. "Pre-fabricated solutions have features that put concrete on the defensive, like insulation power. It keeps the house warm in winter, while in summer the heat of the plains doesn't intrude through the thermocol and glass wool, thus cutting back on your energy expenses in a huge way," feels Parikhshet. Along with these features the internal and external aesthetics can be custom designed to suit customer preferences.

"The best part of it, however, is that with DDA directives against any new construction or extension on the previous structures, the pre-fabricated solution with its temporary nature, and thus exempt from the regulation, becomes a cool option," says Parikhshet, tongue-firmly-in-cheek.
