[goma @soigomaa]

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

Gen Z is now the most active moviegoing demographic, according to a new study.

“What’s especially notable is how strongly they value the shared, communal aspect of the experience, reinforcing that theaters continue to play an important role as a social destination for younger audiences.”

Halle Bailey says Beyoncé sees literally everything including the hate train—and she is still in awe of how she manages to stay sane and normal despite everything:

"She sees everything , I mean, she's just honestly as amazing as everybody thinks. She's just a good person and real.
I don't know what it's like, though, when you get to that level and you're like Beyonce and you're still so sane and normal and human.Yeah, good. It's like, it's really cool."

You’re watching thousands of bees make the same split-second decision, and not one of them was told to do it. One bee spots a wasp and flips its abdomen in a fifth of a second. Every neighbor copies the move. Within one second, the wave crosses the whole colony.

I got curious enough to pull the actual studies on this. A researcher named Gerald Kastberger at the University of Graz in Austria spent 15 years filming giant honeybees. His team broke down 500 separate run-ins between the bees and hornets, frame by frame.

Only about half the bees on the surface actually join each wave. The other half aren’t freeloading though. When the surface bees flip, it sends a physical vibration through the honeycomb, about twice a second. That rumble reaches the other 90% of the colony packed deep inside the nest, bees that can’t even see the outside. They get the alarm through the walls.

The wave confuses wasps. When the whole surface is rippling, a wasp can’t single out one bee to grab. While this is happening, bees are also giving off a chemical alarm signal that keeps the colony locked into the same rhythm, and the vibrations carry the warning even deeper to bees with no idea what’s going on outside.

A 2022 paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology tested what kicks off the response. Turns out, when these bees shift into defense mode, they can spot threats about half the size of anything they’d notice while collecting pollen. Their eyes don’t change. They just pick up on smaller movement when they’re on guard.

If the wasp ignores all this and keeps pushing, things escalate. The oldest bees in the colony, the ones with the strongest venom, launch out as flying guards and attack directly. If a wasp actually lands on the nest, bees pile on and vibrate their muscles to cook it. The temperature inside the pile hits 45 to 48°C (113 to 118°F), enough to kill the wasp within ten minutes. The bees survive because their bodies hold up a few degrees past the wasp’s breaking point.

This never fades. The hundredth wasp gets the exact same response as the first.
