Nanoparticles (purple) carrying melittin (green) fuse with HIV (small circles with spiked outer ring), destroying the virus’s protective envelope. Molecular bumpers (small red ovals) prevent the nanoparticles from harming the body’s normal cells, which are much larger in size. Joshua L. Hood, MD, PhD

Beat me to it. I was going to ask where they found the bees?
In all honesty though i used to see bees in Brooklyn every year. Last few i can’t say i’ve seen one.

No more parental discussions on “The Birds & the Bees”.

It’s either a liberal conspiracy or a message from the Creator;)

Apparently from what many say All the bees must be in Riverside County, California now. We have them by the gazillions everywhere. NO shortage of bees around here. They swarm here at the ranch multiple times a year. I can walk outside right this minute, and hear them in the blooming Acacia trees, and high up in the two varieties of Eucalyptus trees as well.

It’s time to put out the extra Hummingbird feeders to accomodate the Spring arrival of Hooded Orioles. Wondering if the bees are going to take over again this year, and chase those beautiful birds away. The feeders accomodate the Anna’s Hummingbirds, Red House Finchs, and the Hooded Orioles every year.

“The finding is an important step toward developing a vaginal gel that may prevent the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.”

I don’t think this is the main transmission route

“Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this gel...

&&&
Here’s a thought: Have them keep their pants on.

Having grown up in the 1950s, I have difficulty understanding why so many today seem to believe that humans are just not capable of controlling their sexual urges. Idiots.

Bee Venom in a vaginal gel? Something on me just shriveled up at that thought.
OUCH

My thoughts too. Methinks a sphincter lube or bunghole grease would go much further towards eliminating AIDS.

"“These particles by themselves are actually very safe for sperm, for the same reason they are safe for vaginal cells.” "

These researchers are very confused about who the actual purveyors of HIV are.

That's right -- all of you normal heterosexual men and women are the ones responsible for the HIV epidemic.

Somebody didn't read The Myth of Heterosexual Aids.

You're going to need more than a vaginal gel.
