Bees

The Colorado Rockies baseball game againt the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday was rudely interrupted during the fifth inning. You won't bee-lieve what happened.

Bee populations are rapidly declining throughout the world. What can you do? Adopt a bee to help support these essential pollinators.

One common, yet false assumption about bees is that that their buzzing is caused by the beating of their wings. Not true. The sound is actually the result of the bee vibrating their flight muscles. This is especially pronounced in bumblebees, as they must warm up their bodies considerably to get airborne at low ambient temperatures. Yet, the sound they do produce while fearful to many humans has indeed inspired a good number of musical compositions over the years.
