Gaillardia (blanket flower) and Apis mellifera (Western honeybee)

Winter bees

As summer slides into autumn, these honey bees know what's coming next. The days are getting shorter and the nights are definitely colder. These are the last blanket flowers of the year and are rapidly producing their seedpods. Meanwhile, honeybees are in a frenzy of activity and on a sunny afternoon they're out in full force. Metaphorically speaking, these worker bees are filling up the shelves with jars of honey so that the queen can survive the winter.

Soon the 'winter bees' will emerge, a special caste of honey bees responsible for keeping the queen warm and well fed. Worker bees typically live about six weeks but winter bees are larger and fatter (and live much longer). They stay wide awake through those cold months, clustered into a small ball, eating the stored honey and shivering their flight muscles to generate heat. The queen will resume egg laying in late winter and that next generation will be the honey bees you'll see flying around next spring.

The infamous Tsavo Man Eaters on display in the Field Museum Of Natural History, in Chicago, Illinois. During March - December 1898, these ferocious male lions attacked and killed 135 people in Kenya, many of whom were construction workers, who were helping to build a railway from Kenya to Uganda. They were eventually hunted down and killed by an Irish British Army veteran called Lieutenant colonel John Henry Patterson, who later on went on to write a book about them called The Man Eaters Of Tsavo, which inspired movies such as Bwana Devil, Killers Of Kilimanjaro and The Ghost And The Darkness
