#Honeybees and #shrimp are now getting vaccinated
#Vaccines that target #invertebrates’ innate #immunesystems could be a major boon for agriculture
It has become increasingly clear that #innateimmunesystem has own way of creating immune memory. Scientists think this memory is achieved through #epigenetic changes, modifications to #DNA that don’t alter genetic sequence, and that these epigenetic changes can be passed from one generation to the next.

A bit of bee video from a couple of days ago. They're finding some bright orange/yellow pollen and probably still working the goldenrod.

A short bee video after lots of beekeeping things today. Not a lot of pollen but it only got up to 53F/12C today and no sun until late afternoon.

Yellow pollen going into the hives today.

Just when I think I'm going to get something done I see a good video making opportunity. 4 seconds of 240fps bees slowed down.

Bees in the bird feeder. They're probably collecting cracked corn dust which isn't great.

The bees late this afternoon on a mostly overcast day with a few drops of rain. Lots of big drones in the two most active hives and a steady amount of pollen coming in.

We have all heard about the devastation caused by Varroa mites. Thankfully, there is now something you can do to help our honey bees.

Australian National University's Research School of Biology has started gathering data on bee populations, and they'll supply materials if you can spare a sunny afternoon to collect some bees.
