Starting Queen Cells

This article talk about the different ways that one can make a good environment for a queen cell. The miller method which is using new wax and making spaces so that queen cells can be made. You could also use used comb for this method. And the Ally method where 2 day old larva and moved to queen cells with some room between them. The miller method looks easier and it sounds a lot like what we did where we put queen cells on the bottom of the frame but I think that we also took 2 day old larva and put them in the queen cells. Though I wasn't at that class.

Salmon Virus

This article was about how there is a virus called salmon anemia and that it may be found in our BC fisheries and the salmon fish farms. This is a scary article because we eat a lot of salmon in my family, even if it won't hurt humans it would be sad if we ran out of salmon because they were all dying of because of salmon anemia. But on the other hand no one could really confirm that this is what was happening here because the samples were degraded and the salmon were not confirmed to be from a BC fishery. I would like to think that we are not causing this disease and that the salmon will continue to live in our rivers but it is helpful to read everything we can and make sure that we protect our salmon in any way we can.

Developing nations may be more obese

This article was about how the developing social and economic conditions in some countries may be leading to obesity This was an interesting article, and it proved a number of things that I had previously thought. In Canada and the US poor people are more likely to be obese because healthy food is more expensive and healthy food takes longer to make and it is easier to go to McDonald's. But in developing countries any food is expensive and if you can buy enough to get fat then you must have a lot of money. It's part of the culture to be bigger but it may be bad for their health. It is definitely something to consider when taking into account how to change the health of the world. In developed countries healthy food needs to be cheaper and in developing countries the idea of wealth needs to be shifted so that being overweight is no longer the ideal.
