BUUUZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!

Have you ever thought about Bees? And How Important they are to you?

No? Well Believe it or not these Small insects are very important in your life. You might be familiar with the famous Honeybee and the infamous Killerbee. If you can't tell the difference then your out of luck, best advice i can give is just leave them alone.

So what is the importance of these Bees? Well first of all you should know that there are over 20,000 species of bees. Most live in hives that consist of the Queen, the Drones, and the Workers. The queen has only one responsibility, which is to lay eggs. The Drones who only need to worry about mating with the Queen. The Workers all female and with the inability to reproduce; they clean the hive, collect pollen and nectar to feed the colony.

Bees pollinate our crops, they are responsible for pollinating over 100 agricultural crops in the united states alone. A Rough estimate in Arizona is that Bees produce nearly $7 Billion dollars worth of crop a year. A study at cornell University showed that the Bee industry accounts for over $24 billion dollars a year.

However a resent phenomena known as Colony Collapse Disorder(CCD) has begun to have serious consequences on Farming and bee production. CCD is relatively new, first case being after fall of 2006. Many theories all formulate ideas as to why these bees are disappearing with out any trace, like Pests, Pesticides, Stress, and Pathogens. but in the end it just may be a mixture of all these factors.


If you have an Interest and lots of spare time give this video a view to learn more. ^_^

Yum Yum!!!!

Have you ever felt bad about eating meat that you know comes from animal that was grown and KILLED so that you could eat one day???

Well I may not know about most people but when ever I eat any kind of meat i have a tendency to feel guilty about it. Sure, the guilt last only a few minutes and then disappears until the next meal but its still there lingering in the back of my mind, or gut.

Thanks to great research being done world wide, you and I will no longer need to feel guilty after eating meat. WHY???

In Vitro Meat, or as most people know it, Test Tube Meat. This meat is grown from Muscle Fibers of beef grown in a laboratory. This meat is free of fat, unless scientist add id for flavor, and is purely muscle fiber and best of all no Slaughter House required! This is a relativity new idea, and it still faces many challenge; these include the delivery and nutrition of the meat and the time it takes to grow.  
There are many skeptics about the healthiness of these meats, but there are always skeptics for everything. I see this as a way to change our industrial beef, pork and chicken farm/factories and slaughter houses into growing facilities. 
Picture your self in the Future, waking up on a sunny Sunday morning with an urge for Steak on a grill, and all you have to do is walk into your kitchen. having your own Meat Growing facility next to your refrigerator and being able to eat you own Home Grown Meat. Where Industrial Meat companies virtually have ceased to exist. No trip to the store required, and you can choose your own flavors and texture. Now that is a future I would love to live in. Yummmmmmm!!!! ^_^

Do You Know You Own Moon?

Every day that you go outside you and look up you will see planet Earths one and only Moon. A Celestial object that is constantly falling down to earth but moving forward at such a speed that it misses the earth, or as many people call it Orbiting.

The Moon which is responsible for many things on earth, like high and low tide, myths and calenders as it appears every set number of days. However did you know that ever full moon has a name imparted to it by certain almanacs. This is impressive to think that a full Moon could be given a Name

If you didn't know the moon had a name that's OK, since the term Super moon has been heard of recently, right? No? Well a Super moon is pretty much what is sounds like, a big moon. the supper moon is when our moon gets the closest distance to the planet, sure to a person who never takes the time to appreciate the Moon it wont look much different but im truth is that it will be  a slight difference.

Well now you know two cool facts about the Moon, go out and enjoy its magnificent and relaxing view when ever it is you have the time. ^_^

Lunokhod 1 (lit. moonwalker), the first successful space rover. was Russian
Scale model of the Earth and the Moon, with a beam of light traveling between them at the speed of light(Fastest Speed Possible). It takes approximately 1.26 seconds. so if the moon were to, for god knows what reason, BLOW UP!!!! we wouldn't know for 1.26 Sec. ^_^

Assigned Entry #1 Blogs

BLOGS! Blogs are something that are new to me, or so I thought. A blog can be anything that has been published online to quickly share information; this includes Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and also short story entries about specific topics (A.K.A. Blogs). So, I guess I am not so new to blogs, I just didn't know it.
I like blogs that are mainly found on Facebook since it is a place I regularly check, its easy for me to subscribe and fallow their posts. My favorite blog is I fucking love scienceThis blog posts multiple times on a daily basis, always sharing interesting facts about nature, science, technology, Etc. They, however, don't just do facts, they also have comedic post once in a while, sure the comedy is science based but never fails to bring a smile to my face.   Twitter along with tumbler and a few others
are examples of the kinds of blogs I dislike. The reason behind this is that people post things that I don't find very exciting. Sure, its great that you tell everyone how awesome it is to know you're eating out, but does it really matter? I would be more accepting of these kinds of sites if they (people posting) posted more about how they are feeling or, why it is they are doing something like eating out.

Aside from these things I can't say much about Blogs since I only know about the mainstream ones. I would like however to find knew blogs to which I can follow and become more active with blogging. If anyone has any  blogs that they enjoy reading, comment the link and I'll be sure to check them out. ^_^
