🚨🚨🚨FAT BEAR WEEK SCANDAL🚨🚨🚨

Like bears stuff their face with fish, our ballot box, too, has been stuffed.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

If you think it's crazy that there won't be any voters in the audience for tonight's debate, just wait until you hear that it's taking place in a theater that seats 1,000 people.

It'll be empty—no seats filled—because Abbott refuses to face those he's failed these last 8 years.

[Katmai National Park @KatmaiNPS]

Bring on the pudgy palooza of blobular baby bears! Cubs overcome adversity by stuffing their faces for survival (and your vote). See the lineup for Fat Bear Junior at https://t.co/0pTqqLAH3F.

Vote at https://t.co/hLkN2lh4wp 9/28 at 8am AK. #FatBearWeek

What are some misconceptions about honey #bees that you wish most people knew? I'll start:

1. Beekeeping is animal husbandry, NOT #conservation
2. The vast majority of bee species DON'T live in hives and DON'T make honey
3. Honey bees are NOT endangered

What else?

The giant wood moth is one of the largest moth species in the world. According to the Australian Museum, adult females are about twice as large as males, can weigh up to 30 grams, and have a wingspan of up to 25 centimeters. They live in the forests of Australia and New Zealand

lizards will be like “it’s big rock time” then go sun themselves on a big rock

Bears don’t want to just grace the cover of this mock magazine; they want to go all the way to the bracket! Even though #NPSFW is over, #FatBearWeek is still to come. In 3 weeks, bears vie for victory in the competition of chunkified champs. Which burly bruin will you back?

it’s wasp grabbing season… male hymenopterans cannot sting as the stinger is a modified female ovipositor (but he tries his best to fake it)

@therainbowbee Wondering if I could include this pic in some printout lab protocols? When training undergrads in pinning I’ve always just said “use your best judgment” and reviewed a few edge cases. But this picture is really helpful!

“Aren’t you getting a PhD so you can make tons of $$???”

NO I wanted to do a PhD cause I love sprinting after bees in the field & finding cool insects & telling other ppl about them & presenting some cool stuff.
It would be nice if I could make rent while doing what I love tho

occasionally i will spell a scientific name correctly the first try

[Dr. Teri Cocke @TeriCocke]

Sometimes I really wish I could just be a bee. Just hangout out with my buddies, flying around, visiting pretty flowers. What a nice little life.
