Honeybees Swarm in Carson
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 04/25/2012 - 9:10am
Our mild winter has caused many feral honeybee colonies to begin swarming earlier this year.
Swarming is the method that honey bee colonies use to reproduce. A mature overwintered colony splits into two or more colonies by swarming. A new honey bee colony is formed when the mother queen leaves the old hive with roughly 60% of the worker bees. The mother queen will leave the old hive for her daughter to rule.

The war on women is escalating and women's reproductive rights are in question. But the assault on women does not stop there - it extends to the workplace, and is multi-dimensional with political, economic and legal aspects. It's not enough that women already don't have the same rights and privileges as men - the war on women would like to take away what rights and freedoms we currently have gained.
