25.01.2022 A high school student is being hailed for discovering an incredibly simple way to help save bees and he is already contacting local farms about implementing ...his solution. Derek Woo is a senior student at Greenwich High School in Connecticut. The 17-year-old became inspired to help honeybees when he heard a story on the radio about colony collapse disorder a phenomenon that happens when worker bees leave the hive, leaving the queen and her young to fend for themselves. A very common method of ingesting the water is when bees drink the water that collects at the end of leaves. The water which travels up from the soil, through the stem, and onto the leaves collects glucose on its way through the plant. Unfortunately, the water also absorbs insecticides. Not only that, but the insecticide becomes four times more concentrated once it collects on the leaves. Derek’s simple solution? Mix four parts soil with one part charcoal, or biochar. Biochar is an environmentally-friendly type of charcoal that is used by farmers to absorb harmful chemicals and help soil retain its moisture. When mixed with plant soil that has been sprayed with insecticides, the water that is collected on the leaves only contains a tiny fraction of poison, which makes it safer for bees to drink.

"Apis Mellifera: Honey Bee" A High-Speed Short by Michael N Sutton / @MNS1974 Last week I wanted to film something in high-speed (I shoot something every week to keep it fresh). My Bullfrog film had done well on the internet and I wanted to step up and challenge myself. I have wanted to film bee's for quite a while and luckily for me there happened to be an apiary in my town. Allen Lindahl owner of hillsidebees.com stepped up and allowed me to film his hives. It was 92 degrees out and the sun was bearing down, but I was told sunny days are when the bee's are most active. Without a bee outfit, I was ready to shoot. I was able to get pretty close to one of the hives (about one and a half feet) which was perfect for using the CANON 100MM MACRO IS. I primarily filmed with the Canon 30-105mm Cinema zoom lens wide open. I also used a 300mm See more a amazing photography by Michael N Sutton; http://vimeo.com/michaelsutton
