#Bumblebees made history when over 130 years ago they were brought from England to New Zealand to pollinate red #clover for farmers - the first #insect to be introduced to a country to #pollinate a specific plant.🙁

It’s been a few days.
What’s been happening?
Any tariffs on speaking the truth yet?

Bees are able to navigate using the polarised light patterns in the sky by virtue of their 3 ‘simple eyes’ or #ocelli which are positioned on top of the head between their 2 larger compound eyes.
So 5 eyes in all!

Late?
Yep!
Of course!🙄
But…

It’s #Friday folks!

#bumblebees have hearts but they are not ❤️ shaped.
Bee hearts are straw shaped organs and run the entire length of the body.

Bumblebee Love.

For most species of #bumblebee the queens will usually only mate with one male.
Most males never actually get to mate successfully but if given the chance will indeed mate with more than one queen!

But if a psycho billionaire drops by with a tech nerd kid in tow demanding access to your personal data…all bets are off…you know what to do.

Bumblebees don’t have ears!
They rely on sensing sounds vibrating through nearby materials with all of their body.

‘The silence often of pure innocence
Persuades when speaking fails.’

It’s #Friday folks!

Have the best #weekend you can.

You know the drill:

Be #gentle
Be #kind
Be #true
Be like #bees

Take it easy on yourself.
On the #planet.
On others.

And…

‘Always look on the bright side of life…’

Bumblebees have to learn how to get nectar from flowers. They will usually visit the same flowers every day as long as they keep finding nectar and pollen.
This is called flower or #pollinator constancy.

It’s #Friday folks.
Wait…
It’s Friday folks!
We made it through another week without nuking the entire planet.
Yay us!

Have the best #weekend you can.

Whereas the #bumblebee foraging strategy is to maximise the immediate return of sugar to the colony the #honeybee strategy seems to be to maximise energy efficiency instead.
Why the difference?
Lifestyle baby, lifestyle!

Update. I'm sure this has occurred to #AI / #LLM tool builders. Determining whether an assertion is #true is a hard problem and we don't expect an adequate software solution any time soon, if ever. But determining whether a #citation points to a real publication and whether it's #relevant to the passage citing it, are comparatively easy. (Just comparatively.)

Some tools already cite sources. But when will tools promise that their citations are real and relevant — and deliver on that promise?
