Bees Turning Carnivorous.
Not sure if its just me but don't exactly know what's going on with these bees
this summer.
Every time am outdoors there's bees surrounding my head like they're trying
to bite my ears or something!
Their behavior is kind of unusual too.
I just saw a few weeks ago some bees flying around a dead bird and not only
that but a few days ago went on the porch and as I sat there with a cup of
coffee I noticed a bee attacking a little bug.
To me it looked like the bee was trying to kill the poor bug but didn't take
much time to see the end result because there seemed to be more bees
coming in and getting more interested with me.
Went back inside and as I sat there the dots started connecting from
what I had seen few weeks earlier and that's when it dawned on me that
maybe these bees here are slowly turning carnivorous!
Don't know if anyone else noticed bees behaving this way.
There could be a larger picture though behind all this as some scientists have
claimed.Their change in behavior or change in numbers could be a sign of
disastrous things to come like climate change or food shortage.
Most people probably think of bees as stinging and annoying little insects but
what we forget besides the honey is that 30% of all food produced on the planet is through the
help of bees pollinating the fields,so every time you put a crop product in
your mouth maybe you need to think of a bee!

Great Migration,Masai Mara.
Every year for around three months the Mara becomes a host to the largest
population of wild animals on the planet,
starting around July and ending around September which is the approximate
time when they head back to the Serengeti.
The scene that approximately two million herbivores create on the African
savannah is nothing short of spectacular and sometimes its better to
see it to believe it.
The best time to visit the Mara if you would like to experience the migration,
definitely would be around August and September.

THE GENTLE GIANTS.
About thirty thousand African elephants are killed every year to supply the
insatiable demand for ivory products around the world and especially
the Chinese market.
The recent news about the U.S fish and wildlife planning to crush six tons
of illegally confiscated ivory is a major step and great news to the
never ending ivory wars that's pretty much ravaging the population
of this gentle giants.
