The bees who flew too high.

Pictures on site. Check out the "wave function described by spherical harmonics" applet. This stuff is pretty groundbreaking. Suggesting a 6-dimensional sun, and that honeybees are able to interact on a quantum level with nature. Enjoy!

[EarthBound]

Pinging you guys. Think you might find this interesting.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Since then, researchers have discovered that things such as the polarization of the light of the sun and local variations of the earth’s magnetic field affect the components of the dance, suggesting bees have sensitivities that would require re-writing our biology, physics and cosmology texts from scratch...

"Oh bother."

[pillut48]

Paging Samantha Carter, please pick up the white phone in the lobby to explain bees and sun and quantum physics report...:-)

BOOKMARK

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Here in NC a beekeeper neighbor to my brother's farm has lost nearly all his hives in the past year.

[Daffynition]

The concept of spherical harmonics is used to visualize the effects of knitting....

[decimon]

The losses have been widespread in North America, with some beekeepers loosing up to 80 percent of their hives.

If they didn't loose them then they'd not lose them.

[EarthBound]

lol. That's pretty funny.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Rules!

[C210N]

Yes, very interesting.

It does not explain the anecdotal reports that I'm hearing that the problem is mostly affecting migratory colonies used for pollination. I'll have to re-read the article, perhaps there might be an "angle" whereby stationary colonies are just that more stabalized, they are not affected as much. In the bee club wintering poll, I can say that just about everyone with up to 3 hives (these would all be stationary), had all come thru the winter.

I now have 3 colonies, all stationary in the same spots for 4 years. All made it thru the winter, and one in particular. This one hive is full to the brim - it has the population a normal hive might have in late July ( it took me getting stung in the ear to determine this! they stung me thru the veil where I guess my ear was brushing up against it). I'm sure I'm gonna see some swarming in the future from this hive, although I added the first honey super to give them some more room and hold off swarming if possible.

[DvdMom]

Another honey bee article , worldnetdaily had a missing honey bee article printed yesterday too.

[yoe]

Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting this.

[pillut48]

LOL. How long did you have to wait for the perfect story to show up on FR to use that animated gif? :-)

[EarthBound]

Np. I read this a couple of times and was just blown away. Even if it doesn't explain the missing bees, it sure posits some interesting ideas!

She's offworld, chasing a rogue Goa'uld through the Eighth Dimension.

[pillut48]

Goa'uld as Democrats--whaddaya think? ;-)

[Pyrthroes]

Bees as keepers of a quantum flame... intriguing hypothesis. Can anyone suggest requisite experiments, combining mathematics of six-dimensional constructs with physical instrumentalities in our local 4-D cosmos?

[ArrogantBustard]

I've been thinking that for a long time. It's the only reasonable explanation for several of them.

[CJ Wolf]

Cell Phone signals are killing the bees.

[Daffynition]

HAHAHA! A long, long time ... but I've been at the beach ... chillin' ... so it's all cooooool.

[I know, I know ...it's a wasp]

[CJ Wolf]

How do you get started with bees? I'd like to do this in my yard.

[pgyanke]

... quantum fields of zero-point energy...

[Ditter]

Are the bees just moving north because of globull warming? Or......... are we doomed?

Does algore know?

[EarthBound]

The Goreacle knows all. Just ask him. You may have to buy some carbon credits to get to him.

[aruanan]

When one turns, the other also makes a slightly different but corresponding turn; when one faces the front, the other always faces toward the side. If you remain unaware of the full scope of the situation, you might even conclude that the fish must be instantaneously communicating with one another, but this is clearly not the case.

The thing about thought experiments is that they're supposed to be plausible. Virtually anyone who is not loopy would conclude, upon looking at two different video views, that the simultaneous movement combined with a difference in perspective combined with different perspectives of the same number of watergrasses and ceramic Japanese footbridges are different views of the same things, not that there is instantaneous communication between different fish in two different tanks.

[jagusafr]

Scully, where are you? I smell a new X-File...

[blam]

Interesting. (bump)

[Ditter]

The Goreacle, that's a great name thanks.

I really made a silly comment just to bump your thread and I plan to come back and read it again.

[EarthBound]

Lol. I wish I came up with it. Thanks for the BTTT.

[Sloth]

Interesting.

[C210N]

How do you get started with bees? I'd like to do this in my yard.

I started by signing up for an evening adult ed at a local school, run by a local bee club. We used "Beekeeping for Dummies" (what else!?), available from Amazon. Check out some beekeeping supply houses on the web (MannLake, Betterbee, Dadant and others).

It will cost about $300 to setup your first hive, plus $70 for 3 lbs of bees with queen (she is kept separated till you populate the hive). If you live in a northern clime, you'd probably be best to learn now, and plan for a hive or two in April 2008.

[freedomfiter2]

Check for your state beekeepers association. They can probably point you to a local association or beekeeper who can get you started. Beekeepers tend to be extremely friendly and helpful, and there's no substitute for local information when it comes to beekeeping.

[bert]

For the record, how many freepers besides me have actually observed the bee waggle dannce?

[bert]

Find a local bee keeper group, attend a meeting. Find a mentor there who will help you get started.

Now, that is within the next 2 or 3 weeks, is the best time to start. You buy a hive and a package of bees and voila....you're a bee keeper.

Bee keepers are like FReepers they like one another but have varying ideas on how to do any thing.

It's tough keeping bees at present. They die off.

[Excellence]

Is he knitting a conundrum?

[Quix]

THANKS.

Fascinating

[freedomfiter2]

I have.

[freedomfiter2]

Bee keepers are like FReepers they like one another but have varying ideas on how to do any thing.

The beekeeper who got me started thirty years ago, said that the trouble with bees is that they don't read the beekeeping books.

[yoe]

I have been using “Blossom Set” for several years now on my tomato plants due to lack of bees and heat. One theory is that there is a bee mite killing off bees………….

[tom paine 2]

Just got through cleaning out my hive. There wasn't one dead bee in the hive. In past springs when the hive did not overwinter, I would find a mass of dead bees in the hive. Very strange.

[DanielLongo]

This has been on my mind. Thanks for a great post.

[EarthBound]

Thanks. This is actually my second post to FR, the first in several years. So I appreciate the interest and the decent reply count ;).

I find it absolutely marvelous the way nature works and the manner in which God has manifest Himself into His creation.

I'm also fascinated with "imaginary" numbers and am more sure now that they're simply results we don't yet understand. Sure, we use them in everyday work, electronics and the like. Mostly, I like to think of Einstein's quadratic equation, and wonder if we can use the imaginary solutions in a way to move FTL. Whew, that was a rambler.

Not sure, but this lady knits fractals...

Whoa. This is pretty wild stuff.

LOL ...seems to be... erm ...bee.

EB ths will make our other pollinators like the bats and hummingbirds more precious.

Thank you for thinking about me with this information. It's greatly appreciated......Ping

thanks, saved for later.
