The bee towers over its apian cousins. Females have been recorded as being at least an inch and a half long. Add to that a pair of gigantic mandibles, and it's a bee like no other.

Almond bloom comes nearly all at once in California — a flush of delicate pale blooms that unfold around Valentine’s Day.
And beekeeper Bret Adee is hustling to get his hives ready, working through them on a Central Valley ranch before placing them in orchards.
He deftly tap-taps open a hive. “We’re gonna open this up, and you’re going to see a whole lot of bees here,” Adee says.
Under the lid, the exposed sleepy occupants hum away. He uses a handheld smoker to keep them calm and huddled around their queen.
This third-generation beekeeper works night and day with a crew of more than 35. Adee has been busy staging more than 100 semi truckloads of his honey bee hives in almond orchards over a 200 mile swath of the Central Valley.
When temperatures rise and the blooms open, his bees wake up and go to work. It’s his hives’ first yearly stop on a 6,500-mile tour across the nation.
But this almond bloom, Adee’s scrambling more than usual.

“When Fitz is telling Madam Hydra that Daisy will not give up her story, he uses the phrase, "Never the less, she persisted." This was a common phrase used during the marches of early 2017 to push back on the hindering of women's rights.”

We procrastinate about things that make us feel uncomfortable. Medical imaging studies have shown that mathphobes, for example, appear to avoid math because even just thinking about it seems to hurt. The pain centers of their brains light up when they contemplate working on math. But there’s something important to note. It was the anticipation that was painful. When the mathphobes actually did math, the pain disappeared. Procrastination expert Rita Emmett explains: ‘The dread of doing a task uses up more time and energy than doing the task itself.’ Avoiding something painful seems sensible. But sadly, the long-term effects of habitual avoidance can be nasty… Procrastination is a single, monumentally important ‘keystone’ bad habit. A habit, in other words, that influences many important areas of your life. Change it, and a myriad of other positive changes will gradually begin to unfold.

@notsomolly Hi Molly, have you ever seen this?
“In 2007 I was approached to design the pop-ups seen in the Disney movie, Enchanted. After receiving a storyboard, the movie’s visual standards, and reference materials from the studios of director Kevin Lima, I designed the white dummies for the three components of the opening sequence: the castle, the queen’s window, and the introduction of Prince Edward.
“Working with art director Lisa Keene and director Kevin Lima, the dummies were filmed and painted by Lisa before being sent to WETA (the CGI firm responsible for the special effects in the Lord of the Rings movies). WETA then animated the dummies, duplicating the motions and physics of the physical paper dummies.”

‘The man that showers is an enemy’
Pun explained duș = shower (as in the French douche), dușman (enemy, hater)
“Dușman” one of my favourites words in romanian language.
