The Way I See It!

I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.

Parasite Free Honeybees

Honeybees survive for millennia in Sahara desert oasis

 

Deep in the Sahara desert are honeybees that have remained isolated from all other bees for at least 5,000 years.

 

The bees arrived at Kufra in Libya when the Sahara was still a green savannah, and have survived ever since around an oasis in the desert, over 1,000km from their nearest neighboring bees.

 

So concludes a new study which has analyzed the bees' genetics.

 

The Kufra honeybees are so isolated they remain free of a parasitic mite that threatens bees around the world.
