Hive beetle disarms bees with their own pheromones

* 10:01 07 May 2007

Even honeybees are vulnerable to hackers. Hives normally run a tight security detail, but the small hive beetle Aethina tumida still slips past the defences. How they do it has been a mystery since they were first discovered infesting hives and killing off bees in the US and Australia in 1998.

Now a study led by Baldwyn Torto of the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, Nairobi, Kenya, has found that the beetles turn European honeybees' alarm pheromones against them. The beetles are highly sensitive to isopentyl acetate and detect it in the low levels bees produce under moderate stress.

The beetles carry a strain of yeast that produces the same alarm chemical. When levels of the chemical in the hive go up, worker bees become disoriented and yet more beetles arrive for dinner.

I always laugh when I read "wentworth".

nicfit 05.07.2007 05:22 AM

It makes me think he's some sort of tourists' site or something.
Like : "I went to the Grand Canyon, long travel, but it was worth it".
Talking about human beings, this sounds a bit sex-related, too.

Listening to Johnny Greenwood at 6 in the morning after listening to Pink Floyd all night is really kind of a let down.

Nice, I should give the movie a try, then... I love the book, and reviews of the movie are quite confusing, some say it's really good, some say it sucks.

Jarvis Cocker smells of Cointreau and Penny Rimbaud's roll-ups.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- An Israeli archaeologist has found the tomb of King Herod, the legendary builder of ancient Jerusalem and the Holy Land, Hebrew University said late Monday.

The tomb is at a site called Herodium, a flattened hilltop in the Judean Desert, clearly visible from southern Jerusalem. Herod built a palace on the hill, and researchers discovered his burial site there, the university said.

The university had hoped to keep the find a secret until Tuesday, when it planned a news conference to disclose the find in detail, but the Haaretz newspaper found out about the discovery and published an article on its Web site.

Herod became the ruler of the Holy Land under the Romans around 37 B.C. The wall he built around the Old City of Jerusalem still stands, and he also ordered big construction projects in Caesaria, Jericho, the hilltop fortress of Massada and other sites.

It has long been assumed Herod was buried at Herodium, but decades of excavations had failed to turn up the site. The 1st century historian Josephus Flavius described the tomb and Herod's funeral procession.

Haaretz said the tomb was found by archaeologist Ehud Netzer, a Hebrew University professor who has been working at Herodium since 1972. The paper said the tomb was in a previously unexplored area between the two palaces Herod built on the site.

Herod died in 4 B.C. in Jericho.

Herodium was one of the last strong points held by Jewish rebels fighting against the Romans, and it was conquered and destroyed by Roman troops in A.D. 71, a year after they destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Ha! I could bring up more "disturbing" things that crossed my mind watching the first season ( that's all I watched till now), but then my "mark" would turn into the need for psychiartic help, and I think that wouldn't be a nice thing. No no no.
By the way, the casting for that show is amazing, except for dominic purcell.

jon boy 05.10.2007 05:02 AM

mental hospital break!

i missed out on prison break a bit i never saw the first ones and now when i try to watch they all reference some other episode so need to go back to the start.

Dunno, probably I don't like him coz the italian dubbing is awful for his character (yes, I saw the first season on tv, not on dvd).
Check Blade Trinity to see him in action, ha ha! No, don't do that, bad movie.
Blade 2 is good.

nicfit 05.10.2007 06:38 AM

Yep, I'm so glad pcs and dvd players can read/play different audio streams (with subtitles, when needed). Dubbing is lame, even if from time to time italian voices ( some dubbers are amazingly good with certain characters) are better fitting than the real actors' voices :) .

nicfit 05.10.2007 09:31 AM

Yes, you made me cry.
Worst thing is : here (italy) you grow up watching movies/series dubbed, and eventually seein' dubbed movies in theathers becomes normal. But, if you grow with a decent interest for movies, you end up watching non dubbed movies/series (like I do). It's a shame you have no choice in cinemas, original language is an utopia.
My "new" pc works! Yay!

Tony Blair has resigned. Move along, nothing to see here.

If only he were gone. I'm still at a loss to find a single word of truth in that speech.

Ian Hislop treated Blair with exactly the right level of scorn and disdain on Friday's Have I Got News for You. Ian is the finest living Englishman and really would make a good Prime Minister, I reckon.

A seven-year-old New Zealand girl was given a used condom that still had contents inside. in a gift that came with a so-called "Happy Meal" at a Wellington McDonald's outlet, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

"I was pretty horrified, really," grandfather Rowan Hatch told the Dominion Post after she had found the condom inside a small sports bag that came with a meal her dad bought for Maia Whitaker.
the little girl had tried to blow it up like a balloon thinking it was a balloon with vanilla milkshake inside.

"The restaurant manager swapped the bag for a pencil case, and a McDonald's spokesperson said the incident was being investigated, the AP reports
