Description

Honeybees by Jacques van AlphenJacques van Alphen describes the research that unravelled the behaviour of honey bees. Fascinating stories! How, for example, can a hive of several tens of thousands of individuals function without a leader? And what about the complicated sexual life of honey bees and, a problem Darwin was already considering, what is the ideal ratio of numbers of males to females? All aspects of the complicated sexual life turn out to be important in making bees

Jacques van Alphen describes the research that unravelled the behaviour of honey bees. Fascinating stories! How, for example, can a hive of several tens of thousands of individuals function without a leader? And what about the complicated sexual life of honey bees and, a problem Darwin was already considering, what is the ideal ratio of numbers of males to females? All aspects of the complicated sexual life turn out to be important in making bees resilient to new diseases and parasites.

In the US and Western Europe, honey bee colonies are still dying from varroa mite infections while bees in Southern Africa and South America quickly became resistant to it. This appears to have everything to do with the way honey bees are kept and bred.

Van Alphen suggests solutions for making honey bees sustainably resistant to diseases and parasites, he makes proposals to improve the welfare of honey bees and suggests how to minimise the threat of honey bees to the diversity of pollinators.

This book does not avoid the problems arising from honey bee keeping. Indeed, it puts forward bold solutions to them.

Worked great
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My skin is very sensitive to the sun. My skin does not tan I sun burn quickly! I love this sunblock because according to the ingredients it's reef & sea animal friendly. I found this product didn't leave a very noticeable white cast on my skin. I was able to blend it with very little noticeable white cast. I didn't find it sticky or really rubbing off on my clothes or bathing suite. In respect to all the things I mention it was all at a very minimal notice. For me it didn't have a smell of any kind. I used this product on vacation in Mexico. I tried & stayed out of the sun as much as I could. I went on a Mayan ruin tour following a snorkeling excursion & did not get a sunburn! Usually for that long period of time in the sun I would have received a light sunburn using other sunblocks but instead I actually got a light tan! I did apply this product on my body & face. I have to say this is my 1st time using this brand & it worked super well for me. :) *Just FYI when I applied this product I didn't need to apply to much if you do its going to obviously leave a white cast. I only applied as needed through out the day. Also make sure you give it time to sit to soak into your skin before putting on your clothes. After all you do have to wait a few min after applying before going out in the sun. That's any sunblock directions.

Finally! A sunscreen that works and does not burn my eyes.
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am unable to use chemical or hybrid sunscreens on my face because they "melt" and destroy my eyes. Living in the south means daily sunscreen year-around is a must - having found this product is a godsend. Unscented, no chemicals to discolor my clothes, no titanium dioxide so no purple-white ghostly cast, easily rubs in. Simply perfect!!!

Effective Mineral Sun Protection
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This mineral sunscreen does a great job at blocking the sun. It applies smoothly, although it does have a slightly pasty texture which is typical of mineral sunscreens. I love that it was on the thinner side for consistency which makes it easy to apply evenly. We used it extensively last summer and it kept us well protected. We'll definitely be using it again this summer!

good consistency
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It is a body lotion and for that it's great but it's a bit white for face unless you are very fair. Not shiny which is a plus and goes on evenly.

This is the only sunscreen that doesn't give me an allergic reaction
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've tried many other sunscreens and all of them give me an allergic reaction, or they are very thick and leave a white residue. This, though, does neither of those things. It's just the right consistency. I've purchased this twice now and will purchase more in the future, I'm sure.
