Ants can predict Earthquakes:

It was observed a day before Earthquake,
Ants did not enter into their homes at night and bustled around outside.
This strange and abnormal behavior was observed till a day after the earthquake.

Ants can detect changing gas emissions,
or sense tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Red wood ants have special cells called chemo-receptors,
which can detect changes in carbon dioxide levels.
They also have magneto-receptor cells,
for detecting electromagnetic fields.

Earlier research had established,
Ants had the ability to withstand high radioactivity.

Even though other animals and birds have been reported to sense Earthquakes.
But ants predict it much advance in time, before a day.

Honey Comb - Nature.

Amazing Nature:

How can the Honey BEE create,

perfect honeycomb - hexagonal wax cells,

without any measuring tools.

To store honey and pollen.

* Honey bees consume (4 kg) of honey,

to secrete (500 g) of wax.

* Axes of honeycomb cells are quasi-horizontal,

and the rows of honeycomb cells,

are always horizontally aligned.

Worker bees will secrete beeswax,

from glands on their abdomens.

They use the wax to form the walls,

and caps of the comb.

Honey bees have their origin in South Asia.

Honey is the substance made from,

nectar and sweet deposits from plants and trees,

modified and stored in the honeycomb,

by honey bees as a food source for the colony.

A colony generally contains one queen bee, a fertile female;

seasonally up to a few thousand drone bees or fertile males;

and a large seasonally variable population of sterile female worker bees.

Eggs are laid in wax cell honeycomb,

produced and shaped by the worker bees.

The queen actually can choose,

to fertilize the egg she is laying,

while female queens and worker bees,

develop from fertilised eggs.

Honey-bees construct wax combs inside their nests.

The combs are made of hexagonal prisms,

cells built back to back,

and are used to store honey, nectar, and pollen,

The combs are natural engineering marvels,

using the least possible amount of wax,

to provide the greatest amount of storage space,

with the greatest possible structural stability.

Darwin recognised explaining the evolution,

of the honey-bee’s comb building abilities,

was essential if his theory of natural selection.
