<div class="p1">
<b>CHEAP TRAVEL COSTS THE EARTH</b></div>
<div class="p1">
At this gloomy time of year the lure of a sun-soaked holiday on a remote</div>
<div class="p1">
exotic beach seems irresistible. The cost of air travel has fallen</div>
<div class="p1">
dramatically in recent years making holidays abroad far more accessible to a</div>
<div class="p1">
wider section of the population. The effects of price slashing and</div>
<div class="p1">
‘no-frills’ airlines has grown the number of passengers travelling through</div>
<div class="p1">
UK airports from 22.5 mIllion 20 years ago to 11.6.8 million Just 2 years</div>
<div class="p1">
ago. Industry observers predict that London airports atone wlll need to flnd</div>
<div class="p1">
capacity for an extra 100 million passengers per year by 2015 - the same</div>
<div class="p1">
number presently using Heathrow. Gatwick, Luton and Stanstead combined. At</div>
<div class="p1">
least 80% of airborne travellers are holidaymakers. Unfortunately, the</div>
<div class="p1">
increased number at people taking advantage of cheaper air travel, currently</div>
<div class="p1">
rising at five to six per cent every year, is planet-threateningly bad.</div>
<div class="p1">
According to meteorologists attending a world summit on climate change</div>
<div class="p1">
earlier this year, the 16,000 aircraft circling the globe every single day</div>
<div class="p1">
have become one of the main sources of atmospheric pollution.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Air pollution and global warming are having a much more devastating effect</div>
<div class="p1">
on life than was originally feared. By the end of the next century</div>
<div class="p1">
scientists are now predicting that temperatures will have risen by as much</div>
<div class="p1">
as eight degrees Celsius — over two degrees higher than earlier</div>
<div class="p1">
calculations.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The odd degree or two doesn’t sound much, but the one degree rise which has</div>
<div class="p1">
already occurred has killed between 70-90% of the coral reefs in the Indian</div>
<div class="p1">
Ocean and wiped out half the polar bear and seal populations. Further global</div>
<div class="p1">
warming will melt the polar ice caps, which wilt in turn raise the</div>
<div class="p1">
temperature at sea level. A one metre rise in global sea levels would put 75</div>
<div class="p1">
per cent of the earth’s land mass under water.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The world’s airlines are dumping 7SOmillion tonnes of pollutants into the</div>
<div class="p1">
atmosphere every year, mostly the most problematic greenhouse gas — carbon</div>
<div class="p1">
dioxide — which equates to 3.5% of global warming.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The airline industry insists that it is committed to tackling the problem. A</div>
<div class="p1">
British Airways spokesman said the company was at the forefront of many</div>
<div class="p1">
initiatives addressing</div>
<div class="p1">
the problem. "We have set a target of 30 per cent reduction in emissions</div>
<div class="p1">
over the next 20 years" he said. "We have already managed to double our fuel</div>
<div class="p1">
efficiency over a number of years and are looking at many initiatives to</div>
<div class="p1">
improve further’</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions IDETR) is also</div>
<div class="p1">
looking at a range of methods to tackle the problem, including tightening</div>
<div class="p1">
the rules on emissions, better aircraft design and further taxation on fuel.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But, according to the New Scientist Magazine, engine emissions are not the</div>
<div class="p1">
only problems caused by the aeroplanes. A report earlier this year suggested</div>
<div class="p1">
that the fluids used to de-ice aircraft are polluting the ground water near</div>
<div class="p1">
major airports and killing aquatic life. Researchers from Western Washington</div>
<div class="p1">
University had identified the problem as a family of chemicals called</div>
<div class="p1">
tolytriazoles. which are also used in car de-icers. These were found in high</div>
<div class="p1">
concentrations in a stream draining an airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On</div>
<div class="p1">
three occasions when heavy de-icing had occurred, minnows and water fleas</div>
<div class="p1">
placed in the stream by a researcher all died. In the summer months, when no</div>
<div class="p1">
de-icing is necessary, 80 per cent of the creatures survived. Researcher,</div>
<div class="p1">
Devon Cancilla, was quoted as criticising the rules for de-icers, which</div>
<div class="p1">
regulate only the concentration of glycol — a de-icing substance that is</div>
<div class="p1">
less toxic than tolytriazoles.</div>
<div class="p1">
Organic farmers based under flight paths are also facing difficulties in</div>
<div class="p1">
receiving Soil Association Accreditation due to excess fuel being dumped</div>
<div class="p1">
into the atmosphere prior to aircraft landing and, therefore, effectively</div>
<div class="p1">
spraying the ground beneath. The Norfolk region has a particularly acute</div>
<div class="p1">
problem with a large number of military bases operating air exercises in the</div>
<div class="p1">
area.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The airlines are claiming a new ‘open discussion policy’ on all aspects of</div>
<div class="p1">
environmental concerns, including talking to non-government organisations.</div>
<div class="p1">
One suggestion put forward at the Air Transport Association conference</div>
<div class="p1">
earlier this year is that aircraft should fly slower and lower. The</div>
<div class="p1">
environmental group Germanwatch believes this would reduce environmental</div>
<div class="p1">
pollution as well as dampen the growth in demand for flying.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There is little scientific doubt that aircraft are contributing to air</div>
<div class="p1">
pollution and global warming, but by how much is still In dispute. The</div>
<div class="p1">
environmental groups claim the airlines simply pay lip service to global</div>
<div class="p1">
warming concerns in favour of profit, whilst the airlines dispute the</div>
<div class="p1">
scientists findings as being ‘over-hyped’.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Ironically, if the scientists are right, with more and more people being</div>
<div class="p1">
Jetted off to exotic locations, the aviation industry may end up helping to</div>
<div class="p1">
sink the very paradise islands it now encourages us to visit. U</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">We take our lives for granted and we spend all our time worrying about money and income tax, and where the next crumb is coming from,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> yet here we are with a state of consciousness, sitting in a body that took 2500m years to evolve. An incredible machine. Most of us are able to walk, see, breathe, sense our environment, think about the universe, right the way up to 80</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> without losing more than 5% of our intellectual capability. </span><br />
You start to lose your ability to recall memory from about 35 onwards. The important thing there is to rehearse the memories that you want to retain.<div>

<a name='more'></a>One thing we learn from the study of the bee brain is that if you rehearse the memories that you want to retain, then they will be the last to go. And that’s very interesting, because <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">the nerve cells respond to their usage. If they store information that you don’t use, they will eventually let it go. But if you use it, and coming to BBKA lectures like this is one of the best ways of keeping your brain at optimum performance, because if you don’t use it, you lose it. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> We spend our lives worrying about all sorts of things that we shouldn’t be doing. When you look over your existence over 80 years, you remember very little. You just actually mark out the memories of special moments. The births, the deaths, the marriages, the BBKA Conventions, and you string these together in the necklace of your life. So I would say to you, remember those special moments, and rehearse them, because they are what life is all about at the end of the day. Don’t try to remember everything, keep your brain cells working on exactly what you want to remember. People often say to me ‘ you’ve got a very good memory. That’s not what my wife tells me because I don’t even know where the coffee and tea are kept! But that’s because I spend all my time thinking about science, so I keep all the cells in my brain concentrating on that, so that it’s the last thing that I’ll forget as my brain gradually deteriorates.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> Honeybee’s brain. When I first started working in neurophysiology I looked for a brain that was small enough to study in a lifetime, but had all those amazing capabilities that we associate with brains and the complex brain of the human being. I first started out working on ants. But I found that when I drilled through the head to get to the brain, there wasn’t much brain left! So I had to go up, so I went up to the honeybee. And in the honeybee you find everything. The only thing I’ve not been able to demonstrate in honeybees is a sense of its own mortality,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> but in every other respect: short term memory, long term memory, social communication, all sorts of emotional states which I’m not embarrassed to talk about, because words like frustration can be applied to some of the behaviours of honeybees without being anthropomorphic.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> Because you can meet all the measurements that are required by psychologists to illustrate frustration in human beings. So this is a very, very complicated creature. I must say that when I first started to work on the honeybee I wanted to use the honeybee’s brain to get a better understanding of the human brain, but over the years have come to appreciate that the honeybee is far less robotic than I thought she was in the 1960’s when I started my biological work. The corollary is I’ve come to believe that human brain is an awful lot more robotic than I previously thought it was.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> Complex capability of the honeybee brain. It’s only got 860,000 cells; to be able to do in essence everything that we can do is spectacular. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">People sometimes, when I say that the human brain is a machine, just like the honeybee brain – they feel quite offended, but they’re really feeling offended because the machines that human beings make are very simple. But if you brought 2500m years of research & development to build a machine, then you can build something which is incredibly sophisticated. So the human brain, like the honeybee brain, is a machine, built to do a job, but an incredible machine.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Another important thing I need to say here is there’s no such thing as a distinction between physical and mental disease. All disease is a consequence of physics and chemistry. There’s nothing metaphysical or ethereal about a brain that is malforming. If a brain is performing badly, it is because there is a chemical or physical imbalance, and the electrical fields, or the chemical signals that the cells are sending to one another, eventually can be corrected when we know enough about the detail.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">When you read about the dance language you see them as robotic, but honeybees are so far from being robotic. They have the dance language, the antennal tip-tapping communication, sound communication – bees can hear airborne sound contrary to what you often read in textbooks. Escov demonstrated that bees have hairs on the back of their shoulders that respond to airborne sound waves.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> The whole communication between bees is fantastically personal and individual.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The basic embryological plan for humans and bees is to build a metamerically segmented worm. It’s not just men who are worms, men and women are evolved from a wormy ancestor,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">and each metamerical segment can generate two legs, and genetically they are modified then for each species that you’re associated with that has any complexity at all. And in the honeybee the first 6 segments go into forming the head. The first pair of legs become the antennae by genetic modification, and occasionally you’ll see a bee with two legs hanging out in front of its head, where there’s been a mutation back to produce the legs. And then you’ve got pairs of legs converted into the mandibles or the mouth parts, all packed together. And then you go into the thorax with its three basic segments and pairs of legs.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcgXjwZiO5tVywM7lxv4i6OWPQe1QWOiZVVgNW9eYqjrRhZyw1k2VzyBsc2rOrAQAkuenUMC0LcJOoNMg_TTURjC6w1sdw4W216Dh1WFsIWpkTmUcqpjFKjXCTLh2GdmSuGZz8BeYx7k24/s1600/26%253A00+0224metemerically+segmented+worms.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #9966cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcgXjwZiO5tVywM7lxv4i6OWPQe1QWOiZVVgNW9eYqjrRhZyw1k2VzyBsc2rOrAQAkuenUMC0LcJOoNMg_TTURjC6w1sdw4W216Dh1WFsIWpkTmUcqpjFKjXCTLh2GdmSuGZz8BeYx7k24/s320/26%253A00+0224metemerically+segmented+worms.jpg" style="border: none; position: relative;" width="320" /></a><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> In the case of the human brain, more than 22 embryological segments are use to build our head, and that’s why we have a much more complicated brain. Every metameric segment can produce a pair of legs, it can produce a bit of nerve tissue centrally, and it can produce peripheral nerves coming out, and in the human brain of course because you’ve got 22 embryological segments crushed together, the nerves that come out, now called the cranial nerves, are really segmental nerves that have just been pushed together, and they’re all coming out in a bunch. It’s a wonderful thing, embryology, it’s the nearest thing to miraculous magic that you could ever observe – to watch the cells organising themselves is stunning.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSoSw9SnuYPPVb1DiA3YRudTCmj81VVB0Ib6A6q0SmFWs_qdrB7v5haeBE8ixkr8VJaRTd5_VkUSXmUwimCebgQphRMk5SOBWtWQg3fe26oUCSMk5ZCt1luwd6TOBShWk92u_yT60nPE_n/s1600/27%253A38+0225+2086+dna+.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #9966cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSoSw9SnuYPPVb1DiA3YRudTCmj81VVB0Ib6A6q0SmFWs_qdrB7v5haeBE8ixkr8VJaRTd5_VkUSXmUwimCebgQphRMk5SOBWtWQg3fe26oUCSMk5ZCt1luwd6TOBShWk92u_yT60nPE_n/s400/27%253A38+0225+2086+dna+.jpg" style="border: none; position: relative;" width="400" /></a><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>

So you can identify the cells that are doing the job. So using that we’ve been able to establish an atlas of the honeybee brain.</span><br />

Just like us, most of their brain is subconscious. In human beings, we think we are in charge of our brains but we’re not. Our subconscious works out the answers to problems, and then informs the conscious. So you’re told secondarily what your view is on a particular subject. You don’t actually work it out and tell the rest of your body. That’s why people don’t respond very well to logical argument. Sometimes the image that the brain is responding to is created in the subconscious, but then the conscious is informed of what it’s going to do. That’s why it’s such a myth to think that if you think hard enough and long enough, you’ll understand yourself and your own character; it’s extremely difficult for the conscious brain to access the subconscious brain, and the honeybee has the same problem.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><b> Feedback</b> is the key thing that maintains sanity in the human brain and bee brains. So when you create abnormal situations for a bee, the feedback is totally changed and the sanity goes out of the window. For example, putting a bee in a house where it flies against a window. The window is cutting out all ultraviolet light, which is one of the bees main contributors to its visual analysis. So when you bring a bee indoors and you wonder why it’s crashing against the window all the time, and doesn’t behave rationally in looking for a way out, it’s because you’ve put it in a feedback situation that is totally alien to the way it’s evolved over millions of years, and it’s not seeing naturally. If you put it in the presence of a light like this [fluorescent] , flickering 60 times a second. Now our flickerfusion frequency allows us to see it as a constant light, but the bee’s flickerfusion frequency is so acute, it can detect a light flickering at 100 times a second. So when you bring a bee into a room like this it’s in a discotheque. Everything’s flashing, so the poor old bee panics and just crashes against the window trying to get out of this hell that you’ve introduced it to.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> So feedback is the key thing. If you have any depression in your life, any real problem that you have to cope with, you have to put yourself into the ancestral environment in which your brain evolved. That means going for long walks through forests, so that you can recalibrate your nervous system by giving it the correct feedback. Sitting in an office all day at an air conditioned level, sitting up, standing up, sitting down, behaving like a robot, stopping when the light is red, going when the light is green – leading a life that is so robotic is so unnatural to our brains that no wonder that when you produce such unnatural feedback, you get distortions in the physics and chemistry of your brain. So feedback is absolutely critical.</span><br />

Initially it’s done this, then it’s gone like that, then it hits the mouth, then the signal goes to the brain saying ‘whatever you just did, that’s a useful programme, because it results in this’. And then it tries its legs. This is why heavy smoking pregnant women do such a disservice to their children, because the child is so anaesthetised with nicotine in the uterus, it can’t develop its basic motor programmes. When a child is born to a heavy smoking mother, the child comes out like this- it hasn’t developed any of its basic programmes.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Here’s what these individual cells look like of course, and the impulses are travelling down the membranes here, receiving information, then integrating it, and then distributing it. What feedback does is allows the nerve cells to be plastered. So if you’re just receiving information, whether it’s a bee brain or a human brain, initially the junctions between the cells, what we call synapses, will pass the information. If the information is passed a lot, then the connections between the cells multiply, so they’re reinforcing the connection. And if the information is used even more, they will recruit other cells nearby, to join that particular programme.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So you can see this is how obsessions build up. The human brain is designed to be obsessive, because of this flexible plasticity created by the feedback. If you did nothing else but go to football matches, your entire brain will eventually be recruited to deal with football matches. So if you have an obsession, whether it’s eating or whatever, that’s causing you all sorts of trouble, the way to get out of it is to create another obsession, that doesn’t cause you any trouble, but will recruit these cells to take them away. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> if it’s a woman, say an unmarried mum living in a tower block, never having any proper conversation, just struggling with a newborn infant, no input of information, no exercising of the brain, large numbers of cells with nothing to do, they all get recruited for the obsession, because there’s one thing all brains do whether it’s a bee brain or a human brain, the cells respond to the information they’re carrying, which is totally different to a computer. Computers don’t change their circuitry in response to the information they’re carrying, but brains do. So if you want to become good at something, you rehearse that information. If you’ve got any spare cells around that are not fully occupied, they’ll be recruited to the information relationships that you’re working with.<br /><br /><br />54:06 Here in human brain, this is a slice through my own brain, I can’t understand anyone who doesn’t want to open the bonnet to see what’s in the engine – it’s like owning the car and not lifting the bonnet isn’t it?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Language</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> And just to give you my last example, in language: All social creatures at the moment on the planet earth are controlled by the female. It’s only the males that control animals that are basically herding animals. and you’ve only got to go to football match to see that human beings are herding animals, and that’s why the male’s domination is still having an effect. But we’re going to gradually swap that the female behaviour has the dominating effect in politics, and as that happens we’ll become more social.<br /><br /><br />But it’s quite interesting, when we came out of the trees, we had two areas of brain that were totally devoted to three dimensional visual analysis. Huge numbers of cells, because if you leapt and you missed a branch, you’d die. You were caught by predators. You were injured. So we devoted huge numbers of brain cells on both sides of the brain. But when we came down out of the trees, and we started to form primitive societies and language was important, we didn’t actually have time to evolve a new brain lobe, so we redeployed the cells in our previous evolution that we used for three dimensional visual analysis. But there’s a sexual difference. One population is female, and one population is male, in this representation. And you’ll see that they’ve been given a language problem. In one group, the left hand side is lighting up, but in the other group, both sides are lighting up. They’ve modified three quarters of their three dimensional visual analysis capability for linguistic analysis. And I’m asking you now, which of them are the males, and which are the females?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br />So whose brain is this? Male. That is, the one track, single sided, one focussed, ‘I’ve got to be a goalie or a striker’ – male brain. Here’s the multi-tasking female brain – ‘you can be a striker today and I’ll be a striker tomorrow’, sharing, coordinating, multi-tasking, and it explains of course why females have difficulty in reading maps. Because they’ve switched it to something that’s far more important, because if you’re evolving a society, communication is the key thing that holds a society together. What the honeybee has, that so many other creatures don’t have, is an incredibly sophisticated communication system. Whoever communicates effectively will eventually control the politics of a society. So we’re in that transition now, between being a herding animal, and becoming truly social.</span><br />

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do what bees do, which is share information. I have no agenda, I’m offering no views or opinions. I'm just disseminating accurate, relevant, free information, just like the bees, with nothing to agree or disagree with, and hopefully having a conversation afterwards, not a debate, because that's what this talk is about – sharing interesting information and ideas, not being controversial.</div>

<span style="text-indent: 37.8px;">I have been keeping bees for 25 years, not for the honey, but because bees keep me sane and connected with reality. Looking at my bees at Shepperton, hearing the roar of traffic on the M3 half a mile away, being drawn into the Big Wen to do things that don't need doing, like I did for 30 years, shows up the sanity of the bees, whose every activity has a purpose, and our insanity, where we get worked up about so many things that don't matter, and do so many things we don't have to do, and get </span><b style="text-indent: 37.8px;">stuffocation </b><span style="text-indent: 37.8px;">from having so many things we don’t need.</span></div>

I like that bees are rather anarchic and lawless, because they are social animals, which is a biological definition, meaning they are leaderless; they regulate themselves and don't need laws from above. Their queen, as we call her, is the mum, not a ruler.</div>

We've become disconnected from our food as it's got more industrialised. We don't know where it comes from. It's become monotonous, based on wheat, rice and maize, and salt, fat and sugar - food like pizza and burgers for instance. Bees by contrast have a very varied diet, and this is the key to their health. (unless they're in thousands of beehives pollinating a hundred mile long almond orchard in California that is) </div>

•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>Bees are <b>adaptable</b> to change, we aren't. We crave predictability when nothing is predictable. There is a lot of change going on which we're no longer resourceful enough to adapt to like the bees, because we rely on the specialist skills of others like builders, electricians, computer wizards, whereas each bee can do all her tasks at various stages in her life. Middle aged bees (aged 3-4 weeks!) will be quickly recruited by a dance to stop foraging and start processing, and vice versa, if the need arises. If you put a piece of paper in the top of a hive, the bees will change their roles to move it, and 10 minutes later it will come out of the entrance at the bottom. They are able to adapt by communicating with each other.</div>

It's like a primitive map they’re marking out.</div>

<span style="color: black;">•</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span><span style="color: black;"> So they dance, and we talk – or write – or draw maps. It is symbolic communication. If </span>you’re evolving any society, communication is the key thing that holds a society together. <span style="color: black;">The shared knowledge, and the division of labour that result from communication are so valuable. </span>And the thing that makes societies, businesses, neighbours, families and relationships fall apart is a lack of communication, a lack of sharing information. </div>

<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">•</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>What the honeybee has, that so many other creatures don’t have, apart from us, is an incredibly sophisticated communication system. It is this collaboration that enables them to be leaderless, and infinitely adaptable to change, and in us it is the root of innovation and creativity. The information we have shared over millennia has led to us evolving the most complex brains on the planet, and a massive range of technical and artistic innovations, culminating in the most revolutionary way of sharing information of all, the internet. And of course, it is <span style="color: black;">Open source sharing i.e. Like the bees, free! The information is not owned; there is no intellectual property.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">•</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>However we have a problem that bees don't have, which is that we are bombarded with inaccurate, irrelevant, meaningless, misleading information that we have to use a lot of our time and energy to edit out.<span style="color: black;"> </span>Those ads that flash at you when you’re online. <span style="color: black;">Facebook, which gives the impression of perfect lives, like holiday slide shows or round robins</span>. TED talks are a good antidote to that – does anyone know TED talks? [No] Technology Education Design, really good, short, 20 minute talks… </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The <b>second</b> thing is, we can understand the differences in <b>female and male characteristics</b> in their simplest form in honeybees, which is interesting because it challenges some stereotypes and reinforces others. These days the differences are played down, or else invoked as a way of having a go at each other, but actually the different characteristics are <span style="color: black;">complementary</span>.</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>All social animals on the planet, which include honeybees, are controlled by the females.</b> The worker honeybee is female – 85% of the colony is worker bees - and she’s the one you will see foraging on flowers and possibly stinging you – she’s not sugar and spice, and definitely not a helpless passive victim. She’s <span style="color: black;">practical and pragmatic. She's</span> the one who does the communicating; she dances, looks after, looks out for, cleans the hive, nurses the brood, builds honeycomb, defends, and produces and processes food. So she's the housewife, builder, defender and breadwinner all in one - the ultimate multitasker. I should point out that she does all these jobs at different stages of her life, and not all at the same time, which is the usual definition of multitasking. </div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm glad to know that it is in my programming as a female, and quite normal, to enjoy looking after the grandchildren and cooking. Food gathering and processing is a female thing, from breastfeeding onwards. Yet we've become disconnected from it as food production has got more industrialised.<span style="color: black;"> Food used to be woman made; it isn't any more. </span>W<span style="color: black;">omen need to reclaim food.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm also glad to find that I don't fit the victim martyr stereotype that you see portrayed in films and operas, and gone on about on Woman's Hour. Feminism fixates on the idea of women as victims of male oppression. And also glad that like worker bees, I'm not risk averse. They take a <b>calculated risk</b> every time they go out of the hive, which is much more often than their high risking brothers. There is so much emphasis on health and safety these days, which isn't healthy <i>or </i>safe, because it restricts children's ability to find out for themselves what is safe, and makes them fearful. </div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Actually the <b>default settings of all humans are also female</b>, which is why men are able to communicate and look after others, and have camaraderie and team spirit (though that often takes the form of<span style="color: black;"> cartels and old boy networks.)</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #274e12; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #7f0180;"> </span><b>‘All the male characters are modifications of the female embryo. At around 8 weeks of the embryo's development, the paired, globular, ovaries descend to become the testes under Y chromosome influence.’ [Robert Pickard]</b></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #274e12; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"> So in this sense men are u</span>nlike drones, who are all male. They are called haploid, they come from unfertilized eggs. However<b> drones, the male bees</b> that is, like men, have an ability to focus, or have one track minds, to put it another way. For this they have greater visual spatial analysis than their sisters, with big eyes, all the better to spot the queen with in a big sky. In the case of men, the one track mind and their spatial analysis is an asset as well as a handicap. If it wasn't for Karl von Frisch's one track mind painting hundreds of bees and monitoring their movements, I wouldn't have known about the bee dance and wouldn't be talking to you now. With spatial analysis, men have the technical skills that create the internet, like Tim Berners Lee – and bicycles, and wheelbarrows, and silicon spatulas, and microfibre cloths and other things that are a girl's best friend and a boon to civilisation. </div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The drones, like men, are non aggressive – they don't have a sting. They don’t need a sting. They have their sisters to do the stinging for them. I am not a scientist, but I know from working alongside men, and from looking at most men walking in the street, that they’re not would be rapists with a killer instinct. <span style="color: black;">There is no biological purpose in raping, because you have no input into the resulting offspring.</span> When men are violent, it's because they feel like powerless losers: like angry young men for instance, or grumpy old men. Both are unlikely to get the girl. There are always more losers than winners. Did you know that testosterone levels are measurably low in violent men, or losers, and higher in confident, successful men? </div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The drone is also <b>high risk and self destructive</b>, like men – think jackass and suicide bombers, but also destroying the body with cigarettes, drugs, overeating and binge drinking. The drone dies when he mates successfully, i.e. wins.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #272727; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And this is when he is <b>highly competitive</b> for one moment in his life. The strongest fastest healthiest drone will get to the queen first, and perpetuate the genes of the colony, and there you can see the fundamental purpose of competition within species: a competition between males for a female, to get the girl and fertilise the egg.<span style="color: black;"> In men it extends to getting territory, whether through conquest or takeover bids, or persuading us to buy things 'because we're worth it', but it has the same function.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -48px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>Drones are valuable in the colony – so beekeepers who get rid of drones do them a disservice because larger numbers mean greater genetic diversity. There is the same problem with artificial insemination, another one of the ways we try to control nature – no one knows whether the drone would have been a winner that way.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -48px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>Seeing the enormous amount of time and resources invested by their sisters in drones highlights the importance of fathers. Of course, drones die after mating, but human fathers' offspring depend on their investment of time, not <span style="color: #272727;">as authority figures but as mentors and companions,</span> for their sense of worth and validation<span style="color: #272727;">.</span> The offspring share both parents' genes equally remember. <b>The lack of fathers being around is yet another reason for collapsing societies.</b> And companies in America, where care-giving men are discriminated against, do less well. Luckily, other parts of the world value fathers more. Sweden has generous paternity benefits – a report showed men who shared parental leave equally with their partner took fewer sick days than male peers who took less parental leave. Denmark supports parents too, and is the happiest country in the world apparently.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>So the third thing to say is about competition.</b> Worker bees don't <b>compete. </b><span style="color: #272727;">I'm glad to know that it is n</span>ot in female programming to be competitive, because I find competitions really tedious and pointless. They don't compete because there is no need to, and bees, like everything in nature, don't waste energy and resources doing anything they don't need to do. There is no territory to defend, no one owns anything. There are no winners and losers. No one is more or less important than anyone else, they are all valuable. Even the drones that don't mate maintain harmony in the hive by their presence, and there is evidence that their pheromones regulate the brood production in the hive. The queen is the mother, as I said not the boss, so they don't need to establish any hierarchies or obey any rules – they regulate themselves by communicating.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
It just goes to show that everyday life is possible without competition. This is particularly hard for us to get our heads around because competition is so prevalent in human society, and everything that goes with it, like hierarchy and morality. When we see ourselves as authority figures over our children, with the power to withhold treats or give time out, and we accept and vote for leaders, it's hard to grasp the idea of a society where none of that happens. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -104.8px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>Male characteristics predominate in human society, which explains the instinct to compete, which we can see in its simplest form in the drones. Drones just compete and die when they win. With more complex animals like us, establishing territory or ownership, and hierarchies are part of competitive behaviour. <b>The winner occupies his position, whether physical territory, intellectual property or the moral high ground, and resists all challenges to it, dedicating his life to retaining this position, resisting change and preserving the status quo. </b></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -104.8px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span><b> War </b>is the most obvious example of competition, including price wars; war on want; the battle for hearts and minds; the <b>fight</b> for equality. The war on Nature of course.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -104.8px;">
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>There is a competitive element in almost everything we do and say. Practically everything turns into a competition. There is a belief that competition is A Good Thing – it’s healthy competition, or friendly competition:<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px; text-align: center; text-indent: -104.8px;"> </span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -104.8px;">-Beekeepers have honey competitions. (I’m constantly struck by how unlike bees </span><a href="http://beedances.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/the-trouble-with-beeks.html" style="text-indent: -104.8px;">beekeepers</a><span style="text-indent: -104.8px;"> are…) </span></div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -104.8px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>Children are encouraged to enter design competitions. Why? What's the point? Why does one have to win and the rest to lose? They each produce something unique and valid, but this prescriptive approach only stifles their imagination.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>Then there is the rivalry between Macs vs Microsoft - my Mac won't coordinate with Microsoft Outlook and vice versa. There is iPhone vs Android. We get competing phone internet providers. We get energy companies competing for our custom. Why? It's the same energy being supplied, the same water. None is offering better or worse energy or water than the other. Practically every page of the Financial Times mentions the word competition. Debate is competition between opposing points of view.</div>

The winner requires others to lose. So it disrupts communication and collaboration. It causes suffering. It has extended to a very destructive and unwinnable competition with Nature. Why has this happened?</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">
We’re so intelligent, we’ve got such complex brains, why has this happened?</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Competition is meant to be between males for females, so why has it become a competition <span style="text-decoration: underline;">between</span> men and women? The relationship between male and female is complementary - in Nature, in honeybees, in humans, like yin and yang. The quality of the offspring depend on it. Conflict, ending in rows and divorce, just undermines that dynamic. So why does this happen?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Well, my conclusion is it’s because of the male competitive instinct!</b></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The view that competition is inevitable is based on a misinterpretation of <b>Darwin's 'survival of the fittest'</b>. What he meant was survival of the most adaptable to change, not the winners in a fight. He also observed bees building honeycomb, by the way, to show that their production of such a perfect, strong, light, hexagonal structure was not God's miracle but the result of working together - i.e. Communicating and collaborating….</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
One interesting facet of competitive behaviour is <b><u>deception</u></b>, which happens in nature among more complex animals. Dog's hackles raise to give the illusion of size, and the splendidly named splendid fairy wren mimics the sound of their predator to get the female to come to him for protection. Like other competitive behaviour, deception is ubiquitous in human society. We are being courted to spend £4.99 on something, or to vote for a politician's promise. We are conned on a daily basis. And the effect of this is that eventually no one believes anyone, corruption prevails and societies, businesses and relationships etc collapse. Communication breaks down. Eventually we wise up and don't vote for politicians or dictators, or buy things we don't want or need, and corruption dissipates by people communicating, beneath the radar of political control.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The word credit comes from credence, or <b>credibility</b>, which is the basis for trade, which is what we and bees do. Among bees trust is automatic because the information is accurate – it has to be. It has nothing to do with morality.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>Mo</b><b style="text-indent: -104.8px;">rality</b></u><span style="text-indent: -104.8px;"> is unique to humans – it's part of our feeling of being exceptional and superior, but there is </span><b style="text-indent: -104.8px;">no morality or immorality anywhere else in nature</b><span style="text-indent: -104.8px;">, including in honeybees. </span><b style="text-indent: -104.8px;">Bees have no morals, but w</b><span style="text-indent: -104.8px;">e project morality onto bees, which is why they are linked to the church, and vicars and monks. (There was a commercial reason behind this of course - beeswax used to be used as currency for medieval monks, the candles provided light.) Bees look after others and work hard and all the other things we interpret as moral, but they do these things because it's in the interest of the colony's survival, not because they love each other or because they are good. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -104.8px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span> Honeybees and the rest of Nature manage without morality, whereas we devote an enormous amount of time and energy into establishing a moral hierarchy of who is better or worse, good or bad, greedy, selfish, hubristic, valuable or valueless. <b>Nelson Mandela</b> was hailed as a good man for advocating reconciliation over retribution, but he wasn’t heroic, just pragmatic. It was just intelligent, just good sense.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; margin-left: 48px; text-indent: -104.8px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
•<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 9px;"> </span>Like competition, morality is ingrained in our thinking. My language is no doubt littered with moralistic references, which I’m sure you’ll pick up.<span style="text-indent: -104.8px;"> B</span><span style="text-indent: -104.8px;">ut the problem with morality is that when there is constant judgement and criticism, self confidence evaporates, and you get an individual who feels useless and worthless. And heroes and 'good' people inevitably fall off their pedestals too.</span></div>

by them like our Apis Mellifera have been.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri"; text-indent: -18pt;">Australian bees are the only ones left varroa
free, so they fly thousands of them to the almond orchards in the USA where

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Because of beekeeping, honeybees must be more widely researched than any other insect, and beekeepers are invaluable resources of information about them, because honeybees are the signifiers of conditions in the wider environment. Perhaps it's worth considering which is the more important role - collecting honey, or disseminating information about bees to the wider world? </span></div>

What a long time ago it seems since the January blog below. And what a doddle it seemed then compared to now. The water in our house was 7" higher than January, 5" higher than 2003, stopping 1/2" short of the freezer electrics. Starting exactly a month later on Friday 7th Feb, the water came up much more quickly this time, about 3" a day over 2 days before slowing down as the water spread further, peaking on Monday evening. Sunday was when the family baled out, to in-laws and my Mum.</div>

The water has dispersed far more widely than 2003, including into the Ranges, which was 80 acres of flood meadow before the gravel got extracted and it got landfilled and capped with a clay non porous topping. But at least the water's going somewhere other than our houses.</div>

I am getting sick of smelly socks from wearing waders all day. And the constant sound of water pumps (why?) and helicopters is wearying. The piano that arrived hours before the January flood is now delaminated at the bottom. But it's not the end of the world, it still plays. A pile of power tools got drowned, but are probably salvageable. 5 of the cars parked up at the top of Ferry Lane were hit by falling trees during the storm on Friday night -Saturday. Mine narrowly escaped. Many of the trees coming down e.g. in next door's garden, have been Leylandii- overgrown hedges, tall and thin without much root strength.<br />

My beehive entrances were under water, so I put wooden blocks under the roof to allow air and an exit for the bees. </div>

We and the other Towpath oldies have been doing ok, but it has been desperate for so many people who didn't expect to flood. I would like to say to them, please don't despair. It will pass. You'll get help and support with cleaning up. And don't get angry; blaming is a waste of energy. We are all responsible for this situation!</div>

if we could acknowledge this, and accept that we can't control nature or predict anything, it would be the first step to finding a solution (see/hear <a href="http://beedances.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/beedance-haiku.html">BEEDANCE HAIKU</a>)</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This was our third flooding in 31 years, all in the last 13 years of being here. We're used to it but a lot of people in the SE have been completely surprised by being flooded this time. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">2003 was higher, but had to wear waders and have breakfast in wellies both times. We're having to deal with the environmental consequences of our actions sooner than most! But it will hit everybody sooner or later...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The flooding was slower to rise than in 2003, and more extensive. There has been a lot more building in 11 years, and a lot more paving of front gardens for parking. Could this be the reason why? At any rate, there is a need to address the<a href="http://www.landscapeinstitute.org/PDF/Contribute/SuDSandFLOODING10.01.14_000.pdf"> drainage </a>issue.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was an amazing piece of luck that the piano arrived from Eastbourne first thing in the morning. It was being chucked out by Kayleigh's parent's neighbour and would have been broken up if we hadn't paid for it to be brought here. It was raining when they brought it in, but a few hours later it couldn't have happened because the garden started filling up. Same with Clive and Jack cutting the tree in our swamp that was leaning and about to fall on Geoff Godsmark's garden. They wouldn't have been able to do that a few hours later.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I spent the rest of the day clearing the bottom end of the Doghouse, where the children's DIY craft workshops have been happening. In 2003 it came up much more quickly, which is why so many books and drawings got wrecked. </span><br />

Hedley came with a team and in an hour we lifted his stuff off the floor in the barn, onto ladders perched across plastic boxes. Many hands did make light work.<br />
Wed 8th Jan<br />
Water up another 2 inches, and into the barn, so me and Lance lifted some more things up there.<br />
It came up much more slowly than 2003, so there was time to get stuff lifted. Even so, you had to be conscious of your every movement, like getting your phone out while standing in water, and I managed to drop a whole pile of photos of scenery work in the garden while taking them to a drier place.<br />
Cars were taken to the top of Ferry Lane, except for mine and Julian's which ended up with soaking carpets, and my stalwart me-proof Toyota truck, (the indestructible one on Top Gear), became the only useable vehicle with enough ground clearance. I would like to point out that I went very slowly, unlike a couple of other pickups/4WD's that apparently went bombing along making a bow wave that was guaranteed to go over the top of people's wellies.<br />

Roads were closed so no access to the field for Tree Warden activity, and the truck we normally use was in full use by everybody. Just as well because the water came into the house and things had to be lifted there. Chairs onto tables, new old piano onto bricks. Bit gloomy eating supper surrounded by chair legs. <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyEe9Q5RaLRzczB5xICOSsJuJB53e0l4AOE4nlCKX2YaueX8uQs5dW8yvhxqbLaxqlmDzpcBruqC5NTcEkFUQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />

Lucy and Dan, whose tree stump doorstep had floated away, had to wear waders to get out of the boathouse, and Lucy had to piggyback Oscar to the truck, then go back for Rufus, then change out of the waders because she couldn't drive in them and didn't want to be seen at the school gate with them. Which she wouldn't have been because she was so late after collecting Freddy as well that there was no one to see her there. Anyway she looked quite glamorous in chest waders, as much as anyone can.<br />

Collected post and papers from the village, and for some of the old ladies on the Towpath at the same time, who couldn't get out. Alison aged 96 was as cheerful as ever, and Joan aged 86, who had stocked up on biscuits and Marvel she said. They're super resilient.<br />
Kayleigh and Bella baled out to her parents near Eastbourne, like a rat from a sinking ship I said unkindly, but actually it was the only option; it would have been impossible with Bella here; there was nowhere for her to be, except upstairs; the water outside was too deep even for a pushchair, let alone toddler's wellies.<br />
Fri 10th Jan<br />
Water up an inch, slowing down. After the meeting about Renfree Corner, collected post, papers, Joan's prescription, and Rufus from nursery, then George, whose workshop was full of water - he hadn't realised how much it would come up and a lot was damaged.<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">L</span>ife was so normal in the High Street away from the flood. By the river, more helicopters than ever were buzzing about, hence the extensive aerial photos.<br />
Sat 11th Jan<br />
Water level peaked at 11/2"- 2" on the ground floor, 3" lower than 2003:<br />

Water level down more, interestingly, further down in the river than where we were, which is basically the level of the water table. The river is controlled by locks and weirs so the level doesn't have much relation to the water table. But the water was out of the living room so we could wear shoes, though it was a bit muddy. Last time it took a couple of weeks to go out of the house.<br />
The pirates went in the swamp in the boat after school, and made the compost heap their treasure island. Lucky boys having all this Nature around them.<br />

People have been very sympathetic, but I think we got off lightly this time, and we always had power and a warm dry area upstairs, and a pickup truck to escape in. I even think flooding was A Good Thing, for 3 reasons:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It makes you resourceful, and makes you focus on what's important, and how much unnecessary stuff you accumulate, and made us sort out the piles of paperwork and magazines we don't need.</li>
<li>It brought out the Dunkirk spirit along the Towpath once again, people pulling together. Appropriate as there is a Dunkirk little ship being restored along the Towpath. Sadly will be dissipated again now the flood's over…<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<li>Finally, it was a wake-up call. When it's in the house, we're forced to acknowledge our connection with the environment, and our effect on it, and think about what we can do about it eg- <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25755581">working with nature to slow flooding</a>. Absolutely no point in getting angry and blaming others e.g. The Environment Agency, or 'Them' as in 'They should do something about it'. We're all culpable! </li>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Until I read John's article (in BBKA News, May 2012), I felt guilty about my bees swarming. It's more of a problem in built up areas, but having a swamp and tolerant neighbours helps...</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Bees swarm to reproduce and spread their genes. Healthy offspring</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
are best produced in optimum conditions of temperature and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
nutrition and with a vigorous parent colony. However, like other</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
organisms, bees will be instinctively driven to reproduce more</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
when they are subjected to stress, danger and threatened survival.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Beekeepers are constantly being directed to control swarming</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
at all costs, whether to improve honey harvests or reduce nuisance</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
to neighbours. I have been wondering if a century of increasing</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
control over honey bees’ basic natural function has had an adverse</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
impact on the health of our bees. In this article I have considered</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the bee’s reproductive process in a natural environment to see how</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
it benefits a colony, as well as the impact of swarm control</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
husbandry.</div>
<div style="color: #ff0097; font-family: Helvetica;">
Swarm preparation phase</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
During springtime, a colony will build up rapidly, increasing its</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
stores, brood and adult bees. The colony maintains its brood nest</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
temperature at 35–36ºC, the optimum for rearing healthy brood.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
By late April or early May a healthy colony will reach a state of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
affluence, which will enable it to swarm.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Many beekeepers start swarm prevention</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
inspection in March at temperatures as low as</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
11ºC. This regular hive opening breaks open</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
propolis and wax seals; releases heat and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
volatile compounds from the nest and disrupts</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
thousands of worker tasks. The result is a</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
stressed colony, forced to do unnecessary work</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and with a brood temperature below the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
optimum. This brood cooling can contribute to</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
European Foul Brood (EFB).1 The reduced nest</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
temperature also favours Varroa, which has an</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
optimum brood temperature of 33ºC; enabling</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the colony to maintain a nest temperature of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
35ºC works against Varroa.2</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Varroa and other pathogens will thrive in</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
fatigued and weakened colonies. To keep</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
colonies alive beekeepers are using chemical</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
varroacides and medications. These substances,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
even the organic acids and thymol, are toxic and harmful to bees.3,4</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
A colony will raise as many drones as it considers necessary.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Often beekeepers cull drones as unproductive honey consumers.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
They also use drone brood as expendable varroa traps. This</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
reduction of the drone population has an adverse effect on the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
quality of queen mating. It also consumes significant resources as</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the colony strives to replace essential males in time for mating.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The swarm of bees has to find a new home, build comb, stock</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
it with stores and feed new brood. This requires bees of different</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
ages and gland development and will not include many old foragers.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
An artificial swarm, which merely separates the queen and flying</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
bees from the house-bees and brood, risks having old spent bees</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
by the time new brood hatches out and requires feeding.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The colony raises a number of queen cells in specially</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
constructed round cells. Queen cells are given special treatment;</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
they are visited 10 times more often than worker bee cells during</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the 3–5 day larval stage to ensure the optimum development of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
new queens, which become almost double the weight of worker</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
bees. Queens raised artificially from 2-day-old larvae will receive</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
less nourishment and care.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
In an unstressed colony the queen brood survival rate can be</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
as low as 53% from egg to adult; 33% in a stressed colony.5 The</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
colony appears to be weeding out substandard queens during</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
development. During artificial swarm manipulation, when we</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
destroy unwanted queen-cells, how do we know we have selected</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the best two larvae? What are the chances they will fail or produce</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
substandard queens, resulting in a queen-less or a poorly</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
performing colony?</div>
<div style="color: #ff0097; font-family: Helvetica;">
The swarm cluster</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
On leaving the nest, the swarm pours out of the hive or nest cavity</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and mills around before settling in a cluster on a nearby bush, tree</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
or structure. Hundreds of forager bees become scouts and seek</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
cavities suitable for a new home. Instinctively they know what</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
constitutes a good cavity. After assessing a site, each scout returns</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
to the cluster and conveys its information to the cluster-bees in a</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
waggle dance. After considering different waggle</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
dances and checking the sites, the bees</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
eventually reach agreement about a site and the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
scouts lead the swarm-bees to the new cavity.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
This reconnaissance, communication and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
consensus-reaching is an important part of the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
bee’s metabolism, decision-making and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
intelligence development. The new site is most</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
probably 300–500 metres from the home nest.6,7</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
This has the benefits of reducing</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
competition for forage as well as reducing the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
risks of transfer of pathogens by drifting or</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
robbing. Fries and Camazine suggest8 that intercolony</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
transmission of pathogens by swarming</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
will result in a benign host-parasite relationship,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
but the horizontal transfer of pathogens from</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
one colony to another by drifting, robbing and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
comb exchange will result in more virulence.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The high colony density in large apiaries and the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
‘splitting’ of colonies to achieve increase will</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
favour pathogen virulence.</div>
<div style="color: #ff0097; font-family: Helvetica;">
Building the new nest</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
At the new site, bees make the cavity draught-proof with propolis</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and start making wax. Bees construct honeycomb and forage for</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
stores; both are needed before brood rearing can commence. A</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
coating of antibacterial, antifungal propolis is applied to the cavity.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Temperatures of up to 40ºC are required to make comb9 and the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
nest temperature will have to be maintained at 35ºC for brood</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
rearing. The swarm will be broodless during the nest building</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
period. Varroa will have no uncapped brood cells in which to hide,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and develop. They will be exposed to grooming by bees and fall to</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the bottom of the cavity, far from the comb.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
While the new nest is being constructed, stores collected</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and brood started, the swarm is vulnerable to conditions of poor</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
weather, poor forage and predators. Seeley6 considers that about</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
three quarters of new swarms fail. Beekeepers reduce this</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
vulnerability by providing suitable nest sites and emergency</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
feeding to prevent starvation, often using sugar. Sugar is a poor</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">

<div style="color: #ff0097; font-family: Helvetica;">
The home nest</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The original nest is reduced by a queen,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
about half of its adult bees and some of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the honey stores. It still has virgin queen</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
cells, developing brood, an extant nest</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
structure and good stocks of stores. It</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
is quite wealthy but will not be so if</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
beekeeper manipulation denudes it of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
nurse bees and honey stores.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The first virgin queen could emerge eight days after the swarm</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
departure. Other brood will have hatched. The queen will take</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
time to mature and mate. Her egg laying may not commence for</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
three or four weeks after the swarm departs, depending on</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
weather conditions. Again a broodless period will work against</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
varroa. The collection of pollen and increased foraging will indicate</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
when brood rearing commences. Constant hive opening to check</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
for eggs is highly disruptive to a new and developing nest.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The first virgin queen may be allowed to kill her siblings, but if</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the mother colony is strong and conditions are favourable, the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
workers may protect some virgin queens so the colony can</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
produce secondary swarms, to spread its genes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
On the mating flights, colonies escort valuable virgin queens</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
providing a ‘herring shoal’ protection effect against bird predators.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Large escorts ensure successful returns whereas smaller escorts</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
from mini-colonies, favoured in artificial breeding, suffer queen</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
losses of some 33%.9 On the mating flight a vigorous queen will</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
require a good drone to catch her. Poor queens will be caught by</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
good males but can also be caught by poor drones increasing the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
chances of low grade offspring.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Local bees will be genetically conditioned to the local</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
environment. In UK this can be cool, wet weather during the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
swarming season. Local bees will be able to cope with inclement</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
weather and achieve successful mating when exotic bees from</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
warmer climates may not. The natural mating with up to 20 drones</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
will ensure genetic diversity, essential to species survival. Nature</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
will select for characteristics to enable survival in its environment</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and against pathogens. These will not necessarily be the docility,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
productivity and non-swarming sought by beekeepers.</div>
<div style="color: #ff0097; font-family: Helvetica;">
Afterword</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The entire swarming process brings</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
into play a huge array of diverse</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
behaviours affected by natural</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
selection. The colonies that survive the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
dangerous adventure of swarming will,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
on the whole, be the fittest. If we</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
short-circuit this fundamental</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
behavioural feature of the honey bee,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
we reduce the opportunity for nature</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
to hone the fitness of the bee</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
population.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
There is growing anecdotal and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
scientific evidence11,12 that wild bees</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
are surviving and coping with varroa. It is clear to me, that the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
ability to swarm naturally is a significant factor in their survival. I</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
believe we should be considering how we might better manage</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
swarming to make use of its colony health benefits; perhaps using</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
bait hives and informed, non-intrusive ‘reading’ of colony activity.13</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
This might reduce honey harvests, but there would be more bees.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Man can live without honey, but not without bees.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Endocrine Disrupting chemicals have penetrated every environment, including the womb, on this planet.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Manufacturers want you to believe that their products are safe, there is a growing body of literature that suggests otherwise.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the 40's: fire retardant, DDT and chlorinated pesticides, phasing out the use of steel for plastic.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the 60's: indoor exposure exceeds outdoor, practically every consumer product on the market. Toiletries, toys, lubricants, fire retardants, - <b>We live in a plastic world</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Low concentration causes effects that are not expressed until years later. If exposure happens before birth, they can cause irreversible lifetime disorders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There has been a pandemic of disorders in the Northern hemisphere since the 70's – </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Autism –1 in 150 children- boys 1 in 59, ADHD,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">obesity, cancer, hypospadias, juvenile cancer, delinquency, juvenile diabetes between 1998–2008 up 90%, asthma, 50% drop in sperm count over previous 50 years,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>US is spending more on treating diabetes than on education. Producing fewer and fewer tax paying citizens, producing more and more children with learning disabilities, and serious social problems. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are now moving to the 4th generation of people exposed to endocrine disrupting chemicals in the womb. The statistics tell us that something is wrong with the human condition, that males are targeted, that time is getting short.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>See the link between global pandemic of irreversible disorders and the dire need to find alternatives to fossil fuels. </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Vast numbers of fossil fuel derived chemicals, widely dispersed, are altering how our children are constructed before they are born, and how they behave and function in adulthood.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take back government from corporations in over to solve this problem</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="watch-title long-title yt-uix-expander-head" dir="ltr" style="-webkit-user-select: auto; border: 0px; color: black; cursor: pointer; font-size: 0.9em; letter-spacing: -0.05em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Endocrine Disruptors Dr Theo Colborn The Male Predicament "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-size: small;"></span></span></span><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The womb environment must be cleaned up if we are going to have enough fully functioning individuals, with the cognition, steadfastness, leadership ability and courage, to place human health above the bottom line</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 0.2px;">
TOXIC CLIMAX? Chapter 13: Gaia Killers </div>
<div style="margin-left: 432.2px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1.2px;">
'Agricultural spraying [that] programmes began in the 1940's, [their] origins lay in chemical weapons produced by the Nazis, specifically nerve gases synthesised by Gerhard Schrader [who had] overseen the creation of vast stockpiles of chemical weapons so potent that even the Nazis feared using them.At the war's end, American industries gained access to these stockpiles, and to Schrader's technology, and it was soon discovered that with a little tweaking even the most deadly chemicals could be put to work exterminating pests.. Not only had American companies appropriated years of Nazi funded research, but wartime aircraft could be had cheaply, and trained pilots who wanted to continue flying were readily available. In other words, the material required for another war was in place. <b>All that was needed was an enemy, and the obvious targets were humanity's oldest adversaries - the insects that bring us diseases and consume our crops.</b> In order to make the war maximally profitable it would need to be as global as possible, and funded by government authorities. What was envisioned was a sort of Final Solution, in which chemical weapons would be sprayed across continents, transforming gardens and fields into a fertile, pest-free, weed-free paradise. What eventuated was the deaths of billions of innocent bystanders, including millions of humans, and a blighted world which even today carries a horrendous toxic legacy.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1.4px; margin-top: 0.2px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.4px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">It </span>fell to a modest marine biologist named Rachel Carson to document the unintended consequences of this mass extermination. Her book Silent Spring altered the course of human history, and her summary of the 'war on nature' has never been bettered: </div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 41.5px; text-align: justify;">
'From small beginnings ... the scope of aerial spraying has widened and its volu me has increased so that it has become what a British ecologist recently called 'an an'lazing rain of death' upon the surface of the earth. Our attitude toward poisons has undergone a subtle change. Once they were kept in containers marked with skull and crossbones; the infrequent occasions of their use marked with utmost care that they should come in contact with the target and with nothing else. With the development of the new organic insecticides and the abundance of surplus planes after the Second World War, all this was forgotten. Although today's poisons are far more dangerous than any known before, they have amazingly become something to be showered down indiscriminately from the skies…Not only forests and cultivated fields are sprayed but towns and cities as well' </div>
<div>
<div style="margin-left: 121px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 3px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 71px;">
The substances used belong predominantly to two chemical families: the organochlorines, of which DDT is perhaps the best known, and the organophosphates, which include Malathion. I use the term Gaia-killers for them, and for some other substances discussed here, because of the way they can spread through and destabilise ecosystems, poisoning entire food chains. Organochlorines include the 'nerve gases', which act on insects and soldiers or civilians alike by attacking the nervous system. Because they accumulate in the body, repeated exposures raise the risk of severe damage to health. Around forty-two thousand cases of severe pesticide poisoning (mostly from organochlorines) are reported annually in the US. And we're still learning of possible links between organochlorines and disease. For example, while not proven, there are suggestions that certain kinds of endometriosis may result from exposure to them.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 3px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 71px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 3px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 71px;">
Organochlorines take a very long time to degrade, which means that once they're out of the bottle they'll be around for years. They are also volatile, readily entering the atmosphere, and so spread far and wide. Because they cannot be dissolved in water yet dissolve easily in fat, once they are taken into a living body they tend to stay there, accumulating in fatty tissues such as the brain and the reproductive organs. These characteristics also mean that their concentrations increase the further up the food chain you go. Squirrels may have a low concentration, but if a hawk eats a hundred squirrels, it will accumulate one hundred times as much toxin as was present in a single squirrel. Because humans are at the top of what is often a long food chain, we're at grave risk from such compounds. There are few ways to remove these chemicals from our bodies, but one route emerged when researchers discovered that women generally have lower concentrations than men. This seemed like good news until they realised that the toxins are present in breast milk, and that mothers were eliminating the organochlorines from their bodies by feeding them to their babies.' </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 72px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From Here on Earth by Tim Flannery: Chapter 10 - Superorganismic Glue. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 72px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">p126: </span><span style="font-size: large;">This tendency towards civilised imbecility has left its physical mark on us. It's a fact that every member of the mini-ecosystems we have created has lost much brain matter. For goats and pigs it's around a third when compared to their wild ancestors. For horses, dogs and cats it may be a little less.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> But, most surprising of all, humans have also lost brain mass. One study estimates that</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">men have lost around 10 per cent, and· women 14 per cent of their brain mass when compared to ice-age ancestors.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> It's easy to see why. The dog's sharp nose protects the sheep from danger, while the herder's knowledge of pasture means that the sheep don't even have to think about where they'll forage for the day. And of course the wether's bones and other scraps relieve the dog from having to hunt, while its meat and skin feeds and shelters the man. Overall, life for all members of our domesticated mixed feeding flock is made so much more accommodating that its members can invest less of their energy in brains and more in reproduction and fighting disease.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 29px;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">The Curse of Competition (p105)</span></i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 7px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 46px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the prime causes of coronary disease is the intense competition men have to face in the business world; and women in social life. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 7px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 46px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today competition is vastly increased by unscrupulous and tendentious advertising which forces one to keep up with the Joneses or become an outcast. Nowhere is this brought to such a pitch of destructive perfection as in the United States of America. One has merely to read books like Ernest Dichter's The Strategy <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">if </span>Desire to realise how great an evil has been perpetuated. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 3px; text-indent: 42px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dichter contends that " creative discontent is necessary to progress", and that advertising produces discontent. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 7px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 46px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Man seems determined so to twist every invention for his benefit, and every force for his good, into an evil thing. Advertising, which was meant to bring the world's produce to his front door so that he could choose just what he wanted, is now an ogre which dragoons him into buying that which he doesn't want or need, and can't afford. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 7px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 46px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ten thousand mechanical devices have been invented to make life easier; but they have made it more complicated than ever. In America and now in Britain, <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">if </span>you want to be " anyone", you must own most of these gadgets; and to own them you must increase your income or become a slave to hire-purchase; and to make a satisfactory income you must sell yourself into bondage and work yourself into your grave long before your appointed time. </span></div>

<b>Why </b>must man conquer nature? What is the purpose? And has he? Man has certainly believed he can since well before Mao Zedong's* exhortation:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<a href="http://www.diffen.com/difference/Confucianism_vs_Taoism">Confucius</a> believed in controlling nature (vs <a href="http://www.diffen.com/difference/Confucianism_vs_Taoism">Taoism</a> which is about balance with nature, yin and yang)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
And consider God's agenda -</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, And subdue it:</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and have dominion</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
And over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
1:28)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">

<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made</div>

low: the crooked straight,</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: Helvetica;">

We may not believe this, but we do really subscribe to this illusion one way or another; it underpins an assumption of Man's superiority (<b style="font-family: Calibri; text-indent: 1cm;">Primates – above all

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Calibri; text-indent: 1cm;">It's not just the 1% who are doing this. Each and every one of us is, even those of us white middle class bods who have this view of ourselves as stewards, caretakers of the planet, who believe that honeybees can't survive without beekeepers</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">. Conservationists
like to 'give Mother Nature a little helping hand', and do 'rewilding'. Tree wardens plant trees that are a drop in the ocean compared to the deforestation that is happening.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>We're deluded. We are not going to save the world. We don't own it. We inhabit an artificial environment that is disconnected from the real, infinitely complex natural world.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="f" style="background-color: white; color: grey; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> </span><span class="ft" style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">'We <span style="font-weight: bold;">can</span>'t <span style="font-weight: bold;">solve problems</span> by using the same kind of thinking we used when we <span style="font-weight: bold;">created</span> them', Albert Einstein</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">wont solve the problems u</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">ntil we achieve some understanding of this amazing, complex planet</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">. And since we keep flocking to cities, we're not going to get that understanding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Which is why, with all the emphasis on climate change, the disintegration that has already happened is going unnoticed. The degrading of 40% of agricultural soil. The decline of 50% of pollinating insects and the birds that feed on them. The rate of mass extinction that is 100,000 times the background rate. Is this conquering nature? It is a self destructive path to follow.</span><br />

*From Tim Flannery's book Here on Earth:</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 2px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">[Communist] countries mounted their own wars on nature which were, despite the lack of chemical weapons, as lethal as those of the west. In Mao's China, brute human effort was the tool of choice which, following the aphorism <i>ren ding sheng tian</i> ('man must conquer nature'), in just a few decades, turned China into an environmental basket case. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 72px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mao's war on nature reached a peak around 1958 to 1960. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 2px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a famous and widely reported campaign the population was mobilised to bang pots and pans together until the sparrows and other birds fell to earth, dying of exhaustion. The idea was to spare grain crops from their depredations. But because insect-eating birds were persecuted as vigorously as the grain-eaters, the result was to leave the fields vulnerable to insect attack. The mass relocation of population during the Maoist era led to further devastation. The rainforests of southern China, which had been previously spared because of steep slopes and poor soils, were settled and felled, and the land left in ruin. Delicate grassland ecosystems in the west were put under the plough, with equally appalling results, while elsewhere forests were felled to fuel useless backyard iron smelters. Many of these vulnerable ecosystems have never recovered, and today their destruction continues to engender landslides and dust storms. To quote one expert, 'Air and water pollution … deforestation, erosion, desertification, habitat destruction, and falling water tables followed in the wake of [the] program.' </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 9px; margin-top: 1px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 69px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But perhaps the most enduring environmental legacy was Mao's encouragement of population growth. At the beginning of his time in power China had around five hundred million people, and was widely believed by experts to be on the verge of dangerous overpopulation. Yet Mao made contraceptives hard to get and exhorted women to have large families. As one Chinese census official said, 'Chairman Mao has direct responsibility for the population problem'. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From <b>'Here on Earth' by Tim Flannery</b>:<br />'The division of labour delivers one great good in that it provides the glue for our civilisation. It is the glue of trade, a process which makes both parties wealthier than they were before, and the force it must supplant is that of the warrior with an imperative simply to take. An indication of the strength of this glue can be found by asking what resource draws people to the metropolis. <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">It </span>is, of course, each other, for there is no other worthwhile resource in a city, and so powerful is its pull that for hundreds of years cities have been population sinks, places where mortality, driven by appalling sanitation, crowding and pollution, consumed the endless stream of humanity drawn to them from the healthier countryside. But still they came, and despite the crowding, high prices and pollution they continue to come, because to sup from the table of labours divided is so valuable that it's even worth risking death for. And once our voluntary surrender to the competencies of others has gone so far,<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span>we find that we simply cannot exist outside a civilisation. '</span><br />

Having grown up in the car capital of the world (Detroit), raised on a diet of mercury-laced fish from lakes pronounced “dead” by environmentalists, I was a veteran of the pollution wars before China even had smokestacks (I figured).<br /><br /> </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> But it is not j<span style="color: #2f6d9e;">ust China’s d</span>i</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">rty air and poisono<span style="color: #2f6d9e;">us fish that make</span> me nostalgic for my childhood these days – it is also the nascent sense that some Chinese are getting fed up with the consumer society.<br /> Slavish devotees to materialism are scarcely thin on the ground even now: how could it be otherwise, in a country where credit card debt is still a new and exciting concept? But tucked away in rural corners of this vast country are more and more urban professionals who have chosen to drop out and make goat’s cheese (or the Chinese equivalent: live off the land, open a guest house or start an artists’ commune). They are, for lack of a better word, Chinese “hippies”.<br /> So one day last week I took the hippie trail out to Chongming Island, a far-flung bit of Shanghai municipality that passes for “nature” in these parts, to meet a former property executive, an erstwhile salesman and various other former city dwellers who have jacked in their big pay cheques to raise vegetables rather than their standard of living.<br /><br /> Yu Feihu had a car, a flat and a big job in Guangdong province, cradle of modern Chinese capitalism, before he decided to reverse normal migration patterns and return to live in the rural village where he was born. He left Chongming at the age of 18 to pursue the capitalist dream ignited around then by Deng Xiaoping. Two years ago he baffled friends and family by moving back, to a two-room shack on a smallholding near his ancestral home, with an 11-year-old son in tow and a wife who is taking some persuading.<br /> Mr Yu says his old job researching the property market in the southern city of Dongguan persuaded him that escaping pollution in Guangdong would be impossible. “The rivers were all black and the fish tasted of petrol,” he says. “It might take 300 years to recover from pollution like that.”<br /> Of course, the rural idyll where he currently lives is scarcely all that pristine either. On the day that we visited – escaping Shanghai air quality ranked as “hazardous” – the grey soup that passes for air on Chongming seemed little better than in the city. Even Chongming’s rainwater is polluted: it lies within hailing distance of one of the most heavily industrialised areas of China, the Yangtze River delta, and the island is bordered on two sides by the severely polluted Yangtze.<br /> Mr Yu, in fact, could not farm his ancestral land because of its proximity to the polluted river, so he rents a plot further inland – and tries to segregate his fields from the island’s surface water supply altogether, rely<span style="color: #2f6d9e;">ing only on </span>rainwater and groundwater. He admits that Chongming’s rain is acid and its groundwater tainted too, but he points out that pollution is a relative concept. Apparently, in today’s China, acid rain is preferable to the water of eastern China’s most famous river.<br /> Over a lunch of spinach that tastes like spinach and fish that tastes healthier than it probably ought to, Mr Yu explains that he is self-sufficient now for eggs, fish and veggies, but buys oil and the little meat he sometimes eats. He certainly does not waste money heating the family’s simple farmhouse: it is frigid in the January damp. Does he miss his old life? “Not one bit,” he says, adding the Chinese version of the sentiment “money can’t buy you happiness”.<br /> Chongming has a sprinkling of other urban refugees – though Mr Yu points out that at 40-something he is older than most. Many college-educated youngsters dream of going back to nature, he says. But in good hippie fashion, they too often turn out to be hopeless idealists.<br /> Within living memory, Mao Zedong sent an entire generation of urbanites back to the countryside to live as peasants – and we all know how that turned out.<br /> However, with any luck, “Airpocalypse 2013” will mark a turning point in China’s relationship with its<span style="color: #2f6d9e;"> own natural environment. With each new pollution cri</span>sis, another tree-hugger is born in China. So I say, bring on the smog.<br /> <a href="applewebdata://669811E3-E562-4F85-B232-4B9969017358/patti.waldmeir@ft.com">patti.waldmeir@ft.com</a></span></span></blockquote>

And anyway, urbanites have sacrificed the capability of doing that in order to ‘sup from the table of labours divided’ (Tim Flannery) . It’s just not going to happen. The majority of people live in cities, but cities are not the solution because they’re part of the problem: they are inherently environmentally unstable. (see articles below) Cities are the problem, yet they keep growing in Africa and Asia without any proper infrastructure, and people keep coming to them and getting more unhealthy, and more disconnected from the resources that sustain them, which reinforces the illusion that people can continue to grow and consume finite resources, and blinds them to the hugeness of the consequences.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;"> The thing is there is no solution, not even Transition groups, or beekeeping or tree planting. Most of humanity, including our grandchildren, wont survive because they are so disconnected they will be unable to adapt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;"> There is great faith in Human Ingenuity, but I haven’t been convinced by the examples I’ve seen so far - ‘rewilding’ for instance, or breeding a varroa resistant bee. Antibiotics that viruses become resistant to. There is such a huge paradigm shift needed, from the attitude that ‘Man must conquer nature’ (Mao Zedong) to the illusion that Man can control it, and has the right to.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"> “The faster we urbanise, the faster we consume ... We have to take the constraints of energy and resources into account.” Urban migration is drastically changing patterns of consumption and behaviour: China’s city dwellers use three times as much electricity as rural residents, eat 10 times as much sugar, and require vastly more infrastructure as they go about their daily lives. One official estimates that for every person who moves to a city, the government spends Rmb100,000 ($16,000) to build additional roads, bridges, utilities and other public goods – which all require energy-intensive inputs like steel or cement</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /> </span></span></blockquote>

All of the inputs to the economy come from the environment, and all of the wastes produced by it return to the environment. As the economy expands, it consumes more materials and energy, and emits more wastes. But since we live on a finite planet, this process can’t go on forever. Like an inner tube inside a tire, the subsystem can only grow so large compared to the system that contains it.<br /><br /> A safe operating boundary is a sort of safety threshold—stay below it, and humanity incurs a low risk of abrupt and hazardous environmental change; go beyond it, and humanity faces a high risk. For three of the planetary processes (climate change, <b>biodiversity loss</b>, and the nitrogen cycle), humanity is now exceeding the planet’s safe operating boundary, and by a large margin in some cases. The potential consequences are severe: the authors warn that transgressing one or more of the planetary boundaries could lead to catastrophic changes at the continental to planetary scale.<br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial Italic;"><b>Biodiversity loss is so far beyond the safe operating boundary</b> that there's not enough space to draw it on this chart. Note that the safe operating boundary is measured differently for each planetary process.<b> [ ie loss of biodiversity is what will kill us/is killing us – monoculture, monodiet, monothought/groupthink!] </b></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">original</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> idea behind the Towpath Harvest 4 years ago, was the result of a casual conversation with Norma Maple. It was just to get together to share and exchange our home grown produce. Norma had her veg and fruit produce, Lucy my daughter likewise, from her Towpath allotment, and me with my Towpath honey, candles, propolis balm, honey soap etc..</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It started small and has grown from there. Norma baked some lovely bread this year and her daughter Mary made cider vinegar. Lucy made some popular savoury courgette fritters. Kayleigh had a decorate your fairy cake stall. Fresh pressed apple juice from Towpath apples was a popular addition to tea and coffee.( I sold too much honey and don't have enough for us now, but not many takers for the apple jelly, so everyone who knows me knows what they're getting for Christmas).</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was an additional aim, which was to generate a bit of community spirit down the Towpath, where people have moved to realise a dream of living by the river, and they tend to be a bit reclusive. This year more people came out of hiding, including from the roads off the Towpath, and people from further afield.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's grown and evolved since then in an interesting way to include raising funds for charities, and got some entrepreneurial skills going with 7 year old Dulcie and her necklaces, and Lulu with bird food with her own label design. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Last month a family of travellers broke the padlock on the gate and moved onto my bit of field by the Towpath, which has beehives, the Tree Wardens’ tree nursery and Clive the tree surgeon’s log and chip pile on it, plus a young orchard and a load of wildlife. They were there from a house in Hartley Wintney, ostensibly for their daughter’s wedding but it turned out to be just a free campsite and dumping ground.<br /><br />Below is the email correspondence about it. I hated feeling like a powerless victim, and it helped to get some much valued communal support. The police were also helpful throughout.<br />The story about it was on the front page of the Surrey Herald –</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I hung onto the rubbish bags Susan had bagged up because I knew they wouldn’t have taken them to the dump as she said they would. They would probably have ended up in Dockett Eddy Lane the moment they left. My son and I went through them all sorting recycling, food for compost and rubbish into our bins, which was a bit grim with the maggots, but it was an interesting anthropological exercise. Apart from the rubbish which was much the same as ours, there was a load of Foster’s, Red Bull and Pepsi Max tins in there, which explained a lot. There were loads of little childrens plastic toys around the site, rather like our back garden in fact. <br />
The ‘green waste’ we saw turned out to be disguising a load of builder’s rubbish and rubble. That would have ended up on Dockett Eddy Lane too, as it has in the past. My stepladder’s gone, along with other things like several pairs of secateurs used for coppicing, and they tried to steal our Tree Warden’s trailer, luckily Clive the tree surgeon rescued it and brought it back to our house, after a brief altercation. Along the towpath there had also been an attempted break-in to a barn, stolen life rings and apparently thefts from houseboats.<br />
<br />
Another depression was the trashing of some of the young fruit trees in our new orchard. The travellers, despite the romantic view* of them as connected with nature and the open air, were as disconnected from nature as most other people. They were scared stiff of the grass snake I mentioned that was nesting in the tree nursery. Their time there was a good opportunity to spread the word about the 55% decline in the UK of wildlife, honeybee and other major insect pollinators of our food, due to loss of habitat in garden ecosystems: paved car parking space in the front, and barbeque patios in the back. Here are my grandsons hunting for water boatmen with Clayton, Susan’s son, who she said was autistic and didn’t come out of the house normally, but had enjoyed being out in the open.</span></span><br />

It was interesting to meet people from a different world. It was interesting to see the similarities between us and them, as well as the differences. It may be distressing being lied to and stolen from and having what you value trashed, but it’s not that unfamiliar. I have had those things done to me many times including by at least two members of my family. <br />
<br />
I don’t look up to, or down on people, so I couldn’t go along with the ‘scum of the earth’ view of them, no matter how scummy their actions. Like anyone who isn’t one of them, and a landowner to boot, I was evidently ‘scum of the earth’ to them (as were Irish travellers and New Age travellers by the way). I was painting the house and wearing painty shorts when I saw them, and they said I was an artist and must have lots of money. I said I was painting the house – if I had lots of money I would pay someone else to do it wouldn’t I? <br />
<br />
One asked if he could keep horses on the land, until I explained that my bit only went up to the ditch and up the fence, that horses would eat the young trees and the willow coppice, and that bees and horses don’t mix either. I hope he accepted that, because horses have been put there twice before.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Funnily enough, the landowner -real name Mel- appeared with his henchmen the following Thursday after the Sunday they had left, in the 10 minute gap when the gate was unlocked between the Tree Wardens leaving and me leaving, as I was watering trees and putting things away. My heart sank as their giant black 4WD Range Rover slunk in. It looked identical to the traveller family’s car. They said they were checking their boundaries. Mel lives in Florida, I haven’t seen him for years, but he said he was over for a few days, and had passed by the week before and thought they were friends of mine camping there. Course he did. Like the travellers, he always found it difficult to be straight with me. [He has sold the land now 2015]</span></div>

The whole experience has been a lesson in how to avoid getting complacent and taking things for granted, like trust. The padlock is insanely heavy and a real pain to keep locking up. But I’m fairly sure that a combination of the lock and hopefully not making enemies, it wont happen again. Anyway, here’s the email correspondence, beginning at the bottom:<br />

The travellers left around 7.30 this evening, in amicable mood and with rubbish bagged up as agreed. So as the police said, the chain and padlock idea, along with other suggestions like blocks of concrete or a trench in the entrance, wouldn’t have been a good idea.<br />
<br />
The police were limited in their powers to evict because of it being on private land, but would have done by Tuesday if necessary. They have been very helpful with negotiating and liaising, and supportive throughout. <br />
<br />
Have put a heavy duty lock and chain on the gate, and we’re just about to open a celebration bottle of wine...<br />

What if we were to get a very substantial chain and padlock and relock the gate and then alert the Police that we suspect a crime is about to be committed (i.e. criminal damage in removing chain and padlock). Would they come and watch the gate 24/7 then and thereby force negotiation?<br />
I must say that I am baffled as to why the Police didn't move them straight on before they took up residence, which the Police are empowered to do. This is a question that should be directed to the council (who pay the Police) to ask them directly what reason they have for this inaction. <br />

<br />
Traveller incursion - update Accompanied by the police this morning, I have just made a formal request to the travellers to leave, and made a statement to start the court order process rolling, if they haven’t left by Sunday after their daughter’s (not big fat) wedding on Saturday.<br />
<br />
PC Mitchell strongly advised against parking my truck in the entrance because it would be interpreted as confrontational. He said that they were more good natured than some he has encountered, though of course he didn’t believe most of what they said. Including that the other travellers that have come in the evenings wouldn’t be back tonight and tomorrow. <br />
So lock everything up folks. However the police will be regularly patrolling, including Reed Place and other vulnerable spots.<br />
<br />
Everone who has contacted the police has been told that I gave them permission to be there. As I said in my statement and below, I have not given them permission for anything. I have done everything I can at this stage, and am just about to go and buy an extra strong lock.<br />
<br />
Thank you everyone who has responded for your support and advice, it is much appreciated<br />

All - <br />
Apparently the Council are obliged to act *if there is enough public outrage about the traveller incursion. Well there is. I have had enough reports of attempted break-ins, noise, sleepless nights, fear and stress to make it worth contacting the council and using people power.<br />
Please note that I did not give permission for the travellers to stay on the land. I asked when they were going, and Susan Lamb, the only one I have been talking to, said Sunday at the latest. This was taken as implicit acceptance by me. I explained to Susan and she understood that the land is not appropriate for people because it is an Apiary and a Tree Nursery, where bees can live without upsetting people.<br />
<br />
Despite the lies and broken agreements, and the trashing of numerous things, I am still very keen to avoid confrontation, not because I am nice but because I know the dire consequences of making enemies of these guys. <br />
So to avoid the influx of vehicles of the last three nights, and any more rubbish dumping, I am planning to park and be with my truck in the entrance today (Friday). Matt Hardy from across the river will hopefully photograph/ film what happens. I would appreciate any company/support/coffee anyone can muster.<br />
I was meant to be painting the house this week.... what a nightmare<br />

You have probably seen by now that travellers have broken the lock and gone onto my field. I have liased with them through the police, and they have assured me that they will be gone tomorrow (Wed) afternoon. They also said they wouldn't leave a mess or light any fires. Yes well....<br />
<br />
Clive Cummings the tree surgeon who stores logs and mulch on the land has been threatened by them. I have been advised not to approach them without police escort, and I would advise caution if contacting them.<br />
<br />
If they don't go, a court order enforced by bailiffs is the only option which is very slow and expensive. Does anyone have any experience of this situation or advice to offer?<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This talk was given at the April 2012 BBKA Convention, Harper Adams College, Shropshire<br /><br />:20 Thank you chairman, and thank you very much ladies and gentlemen for getting up so early in the morning to come along and indulge me in my favourite pastime, of talking about honeybees<br /><br />:36 we take our lives for granted and we spend all our time worrying about money and income tax, and where the next crumb is coming from,<br />:50 yet here we are with a state of consciousness, sitting in a body that took 2500m years to evolve. An incredible machine. Most of us are able to walk, see, breathe, sense our environment, think about the universe, right the way up to 80 <br />1:20 without losing more than 5% of our intellectual capability. You start to lose your ability to recall memory from about 35 onwards. The important thing there is to rehearse the memories that you want to retain. One thing we learn from the study of the bee brain is that if you rehearse the memories that you want to retain, then they will be the last to go. And that’s very interesting, because<br />2:00 the nerve cells respond to their usage. If they store information that you don’t use, they will eventually let it go. But if you use it, and coming to BBKA lectures like this is one of the best ways of keeping your brain at optimum performance, because if you don’t use it, you lose it. <br />2:14 So the interesting thing about our lives is that having taken our body for granted, and our senses, and our consciousness – I like Oscar Wilde’s idea that we’re ‘all living in the gutter, but some of us looking at the stars’. I think that’s a really nice line. Because what really matters is health and happiness, and the two are intimately related. Everything else is a very very minor concern at the end of the day. The highest achievement of the whole evolutionary process is love. Without love life isn’t worth living, and love is free.<br /><br />2:56 We spend our lives worrying about all sorts of things that we shouldn’t be doing. When you look over your existence over 80 years, you remember very little. 3:11 You just actually mark out the memories of special moments. The births, the deaths, the marriages, the BBKA Conventions, and you string these together in the necklace of your life. So I would say to you, remember those special moments, and rehearse them, because they are what life is all about at the end of the day. Don’t try to remember everything, keep your brain cells working on exactly what you want to remember. People often say to me ‘ you’ve got a very good memory. That’s not what my wife tells me because I don’t even know where the coffee and tea are kept! But that’s because I spend all my time thinking about science, so I keep all the cells in my brain concentrating on that, so that it’s the last thing that I’ll forget as my brain gradually deteriorates.<br />4:20 a little reminder of the human time line before we dive into the properties of brains – film. The moral of this story is: life is very unexpected. When you enter a restaurant it’s always important to order pudding first! <br />5:17 Honeybee’s brain. When I first started working in neurophysiology I looked for a brain that was small enough to study in a lifetime, but had all those amazing capabilities that we associate with brains and the complex brain of the human being. I first started out working on ants. But I found that when I drilled through the head to get to the brain, there wasn’t much brain left! So I had to go up, so I went up to the honeybee. And in the honeybee you find everything. The only thing I’ve not been able to demonstrate in honeybees is a sense of its own mortality,<br /><br />6:00 but in every other respect: short term memory, long term memory, social communication, all sorts of emotional states which I’m not embarrassed to talk about, because words like frustration can be applied to some of the behaviours of honeybees without being anthropomorphic. Take for example the Nasanov centre. If you rotate the entrance of a beehive 90 degrees, the bees come back, the entrance isn’t where it should be, and I’ve no hesitation to say that what you then observe is frustrated behaviour. The bee backs off, bonks its head into the wall – it knows that’s where the entrance was, and then it flies around the hive and when it finds the entrance, it Nasenov scents. So here’s the Nasenov gland, and it’s releasing the scent, 7:00 which has the colonial or social effect of guiding the bees to the new entrance position, and this is a mechanism for the bees to cope with bad weather when they’re blown off course. Instead of rushing into the hive, it’s a piece of altruistic behaviour, because they’re home and dry but the other bees in the colony won’t be. So they stop - they don’t rush in, they release the Nasenov scent. But it’s quite interesting: if you give them degrees of obstacle, for example if you slightly block the entrance, they’ll remove the blockage and go in. if you make the blockage more difficult, you’ll see them shoving and pushing. Then you start to trigger the Nasenov response. And if you make it very difficult for them, not only do you trigger the Nasenov response but it goes on for longer. It goes on, and the length of time of the Nasenov response has a relationship to the length of time the bee is frustrated in getting on with what it wants to do. <br /><br /><br /><br />8:00 I’ve looked up in psychology journals the definitions of human emotion, and there are an awful lot of human emotions that meet the criteria in psychology books, so it is not anthropomorphic to say that bees can get frustrated. Because you can meet all the measurements that are required by psychologists to illustrate frustration in human beings. So this is a very, very complicated creature. I must say that when I first started to work on the honeybee I wanted to use the honeybee’s brain to get a better understanding of the human brain, but over the years have come to appreciate that the honeybee is far less robotic than I thought she was in the 1960’s when I started my biological work. The corollary is I’ve come to believe that human brain is an awful lot more robotic than I previously thought it was.<br />9:10 pass the buck joke golfer and caddy<br />9:36 Here’s just a little experiment I did on testing out the bees’ ability to sense that we can’t sense, for example the earth’s magnetic field. So here, I set up 50 boxes on the roof of the University in Cardiff. I was always very grateful for the local authority changing the flowers on a regular basis, which worked very well. What I’ve done is put swarms into boxes, with a card just underneath the lid, and I’ve blocked out any access to light, so there’s a light trap on the entrance. So these bees are going in, and they’ve got to build comb in a coordinated way. And if you’ve ever watched bees build comb, the bee that’s fashioning the cell doesn’t move. There’s nobody walking up and down with a thumb or a builder’s line to get the comb straight. Yet they build these combs down in parallel. It’s an incredible piece of engineering. You can’t do that unless you have a common reference value. So my question was: if you deprive them of an obvious reference such as wind blowing in through the entrance, or light, can they use the earth’s magnetic field as a reference, which we know that they can respond to? Because all the hairs on a bee’s body are sensitive to electric charge, and when they move they activate nerve cells underneath the cuticle. Now you can see that even in the absence of all obvious cues, they can still build, without individually moving, comb which is completely parallel and meets all their requirements.<br /><br /><br />11:29 And then I came to one box where the light trap had fallen off. And look what the bees did. They were building perfectly happily here – started comb, and I suspect aligned with the earth’s magnetic field, and then suddenly the entrance trap dropped off, and a beam of light came in, and this other group of bees started building at 90º, because they were using the light beam coming in as a reference value. So that’s just one very simple illustration of the <br /><br /> <br />12;05 Complex capability of the honeybee brain. It’s only 860,000 cells; to be able to do in essence everything that we can do is spectacular. When bees memorise, they memorise not only the information like the opening of a flower, they memorise the time of day that the flower is opening, and if you teach bees to come to a particular flower, like rosebay willowherb, at 3 in the afternoon, if you anaesthetise them with CO2 for 15 mins, they’ll all arrive at quarter past 3. You can actually offset their memory, just by anaesthetising them. It is a clockwork system, but it’s an amazing system. People sometimes, when I say that the human brain is a machine, just like the honeybee brain – they feel quite offended, but they’re really feeling offended because the machines that human beings make are very simple. But if you brought 2500m yrs of research & development to build a machine, then you can build something which is incredibly sophisticated. So the human brain, like the honeybee brain, is a machine, built to do a job, but an incredible machine. Now if you don’t believe me, you must never put yourself in the hands of a neurosurgeon, because he does believe it is a machine. If he doesn’t, what’s his rationale for changing the axles and putting in new cogwheels, and cutting bits out here and there? It’s entirely based on the fact that it’s a machine, and the whole of neurosurgery would have no purpose if you didn’t believe that you were dealing with a machine when something has gone wrong, and something can be put right.<br /><br /><br />14:00 Another important thing I need to say here is there’s no such thing as a distinction between physical and mental disease. All disease is a consequence of physics and chemistry. There’s nothing metaphysical or ethereal about a brain that is malforming. If a brain is performing badly, it is because there is a chemical or physical imbalance, and the electrical fields, or the chemical signals that the cells are sending to one another, eventually can be corrected when we know enough about the detail.<br /><br />14:40 Here’s another example of the honeybee’s amazing sensory system: I recognise these hairs immediately. I spent weeks and weeks working over the honeybee body, looking at every hair, then dissecting it out, seeing where the nerves in the hair went in different parts of the brain and the nervous system. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAiHQuwuqoUGVxr_FBmOmLqc8CYTFBwXHKAm-iGpEWYxD1EwNLBqotpBy1FS-ZrybzaNOfR1XvkA99RQfx6OV_qzMPOZluB-RiX0vld9wFBF3di9kH0Yn4YbrvdrjDw4GmguUcgF3jRiEb/s1600/14.40honeybee+hairs+love+the+honeybees3300x.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAiHQuwuqoUGVxr_FBmOmLqc8CYTFBwXHKAm-iGpEWYxD1EwNLBqotpBy1FS-ZrybzaNOfR1XvkA99RQfx6OV_qzMPOZluB-RiX0vld9wFBF3di9kH0Yn4YbrvdrjDw4GmguUcgF3jRiEb/s1600/14.40honeybee+hairs+love+the+honeybees3300x.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />15:00 So these hairs sit on the shoulders there, and when the honeybee comes out of her hive to fly, she checks the temperature, just like a WW1 pilot: – 10º Centigrade, tick! She checks the wind velocity, the steadiness of the wind and the turbulence - tick! She looks for a patch of blue sky so that she can locate the sun through polarised light, so she can now navigate – tick! Just before she takes off and arms her flight motor, just before she switches the flight motor on, she wants to know where gravity is, because when she’s flying she’s going to be blown from side to side, so she needs to calibrate her gravitational sense. So she waves her head back on these shoulder hairs, and these hairs send signals to the brain saying you are now the right way up with respect to gravity. If you want to watch this get your head down on the ground, get very close to the entrance and watch the bees coming out. They’ll do all these little ticks and checks, and right at the end they go like this, then they go brrrrm as the flight motor builds up for the take off<br />16;19 Well I got this phone call, I was eating cornflakes at the time, in my pyjamas, and I picked up the phone and it said ‘Is that the Bee Man in Cardiff?’ (I’m always the Bee Man, never the A Man!), and I said ‘well I might be, who are you?’ and he said ‘you are now live on radio New Hampshire’. I was still eating cornflakes at the time. So this is live on the radio network of Eastern USA, and they said ‘the shuttle’s going into space tomorrow and they’re taking bees, and we want you to tell us how they’ll fly in zero gravity. And I thought to myself, I bet NASA doesn’t know about these little hairs, because a bee wont switch her flight motor on unless she knows where gravity is, and there is some weight on these hairs from her head. So right instantaneously, mid mouthful, I said, ‘I don’t think the bees will fly, in this multi-million dollar experiment. And then I put the phone down and thought, hmmm, I’ve got a lot of pals in the states, like Roger Morse, he’ll be laughing his hat off if I’ve just said that and got it wrong. So I was very interested a few days later, to watch the report from the space shuttle. The astronaut had the bees inside a glass cylinder, and the bees were refusing to fly. They were clinging to the outside surface, and the astronaut got frustrated, so he shook them, and the bees floated off into space, like this! If they’d just rung me beforehand, I could have told them to stick these hairs down with a little bit of pvc tape, and that would have released the lock, and the bees would have tried to fly in zero gravity <br /><br /> <br />18:18 Look at this experiment by Von Frisch.<br /><br /><br /> It shows a bee’s ability to perceive its environment. It’s not working like a robot, it’s changing its ways of thinking. Don’t forget a bee’s dance language can be used to communicate a source of pollen, nectar, a new home, a source of water. Even the dance language is not the dance of a robot, it involves perception. Here, Von Frisch, a very clever Austrian scientist, puts the food reward on the opposite side of a mountain.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJjMIFvU4VT9vH0yVoRuvduk1WqJwr8ZcrJbQttwpenY9-BwGEPo5kpzANNvg4GffQC6SHhmtNQPmrtQVxzWSgTTGfsPseavATYj1UqnDtGnBDWDajpR3lSV6eI-TfVjK_3A42bHqsHOy/s1600/18%253A20+mountain02222119.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJjMIFvU4VT9vH0yVoRuvduk1WqJwr8ZcrJbQttwpenY9-BwGEPo5kpzANNvg4GffQC6SHhmtNQPmrtQVxzWSgTTGfsPseavATYj1UqnDtGnBDWDajpR3lSV6eI-TfVjK_3A42bHqsHOy/s400/18%253A20+mountain02222119.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br /> Here’s the beehive and out come the bees. The mountain’s too high to fly over, so they fly west, north and east to find the food. While they’re feeding they’re painted with little blue dots so they can be recognised. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5dHtd83VzzQj5HVSWBvKVcpE1EDT72dkZfIO99-YvOb-ifAz3tu_BFCXCocDL96sEhh3GKi5TuSDm9CKxXXOqJN_OD0QDp44pUFJNa_J5zb4y3yoAw594XeaPQNDdXt8h0IX9_kV3jNH/s1600/19%253A28+0223+2120mountain.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5dHtd83VzzQj5HVSWBvKVcpE1EDT72dkZfIO99-YvOb-ifAz3tu_BFCXCocDL96sEhh3GKi5TuSDm9CKxXXOqJN_OD0QDp44pUFJNa_J5zb4y3yoAw594XeaPQNDdXt8h0IX9_kV3jNH/s400/19%253A28+0223+2120mountain.JPG" height="282" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br />When they come back to the hive, the students were asked to look at the blue dotted bees and draw what dance they did, and to see how they managed to communicate this. And when they looked at it this is the dance they did – they communicated the true bearing of the food from the hive. They didn’t try to do 3 separate dances for the 3 different directions. They calculated the true bearing, and when some of the recruits came out, they flew the other way round the mountain. That shows an incredible perceptual ability of up to 7 miles. It’s about a 7 mile radius, a bee’s perception of its immediate environment. And that experiment shows categorically that they can make calculations, and then they communicate what they want to communicate, they don’t just communicate the obvious. One of the interesting things about that, is when they looked at the distance that was communicated, they communicated the true flight distance; they calculated the true bearing, but they communicated the true flight distance, so the recruits going out, in a ‘sense’, knew how far they had to go, before they started to fall, and look for a smell that they’d been given to search for. <br /><br /><br />20:40 So, Axel Michelsen at University of Odense in Denmark, built a robot bee to demonstrate how subtle this language was. Showing a video of that now. Different races of bees have different dialects just as we have around the world in genetic speciation. I always like the Italian bee because she’s so much more expressive than the English bee. She has a round dance when the food is very local. She has a waggle dance if the food is beyond 500m, then she has a sickle shaped dance which runs across this, so it makes a sickle, and the direction of travel the bees have to follow is through the centre of the sickle. That shows an intermediate position between near food and far food. When they’re introduced to Welsh bees, the Welsh bees don’t understand the sickle dance, and they’re very confused. So many interesting things; you don’t think of bees having different dialects. When you read about the dance language you see them as robotic, but honeybees are so far from being robotic. They have the dance language, the antennal tip-tapping communication, sound communication – bees can hear airborne sound contrary to what you often read in textbooks. Escov demonstrated that bees have hairs on the back of their shoulders that respond to airborne sound waves.<br /><br /><br />22:30 The whole communication between bees is fantastically personal and individual.<br /><br /><br />So Axel built this robot bee with razorblade wings. When he first ran it, the bees tried to sting it, because he hadn’t realised, because he’s an engineer a professor of engineering, that you have to give the recruits a reward for attending the dance, because all this is taking place in total darkness. The bees are perceptualising everything in total darkness, not in the bright glare of sunshine that we are looking at. And it’s very important for the forager to give the recruits a sample of the nectar, because it contains the fragrance of the flower. The bees use the dance like a WW1 rocket, they use it to get to the right position, and then they fall, and then they need the smell to search out the immediate flower as quickly as possible. So as soon as they put in a little dropper at the front, to deliver a droplet after the dance, then the bees accepted it. Pretty certain they know it’s not a bee, but they’re happy that they’re getting some communication from it, and I suspect they’re saying to one another, ‘ a bit of a funny bee this one, but ‘he’ seems to know what ‘he’s’ dancing about!’<br /><br /><br />As you know in dance language, moving vertically indicates the position of the sun, so in this case he’s set the computer to indicate 90º to the right of the sun, for the navigational heart. You’ll hear Axel’s voice in this video, then Jim Gould, from the University of Princeton.<br /><br /><br />24:30 You can number the recruits, and you can send them out to any bearing on the compass – red ones to the left, blue ones to the right…. So by colouring the different recruits and resetting the computer, and putting the students in a ring around the university a mile out, Axel was able to show that the language was so precise, you could send the bees out to particular landing platforms. So if you were a gadget driven beekeeper, you could start sending scouts out to a particular point – if you knew a rape field was over there, you could send the scouts out, and once they’d found the rape field they’d come back and tell all the others, so you’d lead the entire colony to go to that rape field. So it’s not as esoteric and eccentric as you might think.<br /><br /><br />25:44 As explained in my talk yesterday on evolution, the basic embryological plan for humans and bees is to build a metamerically segmented worm. It’s not just men who are worms, men and women are evolved from a wormy ancestor,<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPXbSgUkXWzujfnRNcbXbRFIEUwLR9NZs7hjcA2RnJnysi7VmURuPcg3E_LtK3J77aSN9z6LZSx39MQAy7otCcuIXTWt6hI78QKywYbSzhvJpMSbIVaRZGADgO_2syT5OjHeIGGCm7oz6C/s1600/25:44+worm.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPXbSgUkXWzujfnRNcbXbRFIEUwLR9NZs7hjcA2RnJnysi7VmURuPcg3E_LtK3J77aSN9z6LZSx39MQAy7otCcuIXTWt6hI78QKywYbSzhvJpMSbIVaRZGADgO_2syT5OjHeIGGCm7oz6C/s400/25:44+worm.jpg" height="272" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br /> and each metamerical segment can generate two legs, and genetically they are modified then for each species that you’re associated with that has any complexity at all. And in the honeybee the first 6 segments go into forming the head. The first pair of legs become the antennae by genetic modification, and occasionally you’ll see a bee with two legs hanging out in front of its head, where there’s been a mutation back to produce the legs. And then you’ve got pairs of legs converted into the mandibles or the mouth parts, all packed together. And then you go into the thorax with its three basic segments and pairs of legs.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcgXjwZiO5tVywM7lxv4i6OWPQe1QWOiZVVgNW9eYqjrRhZyw1k2VzyBsc2rOrAQAkuenUMC0LcJOoNMg_TTURjC6w1sdw4W216Dh1WFsIWpkTmUcqpjFKjXCTLh2GdmSuGZz8BeYx7k24/s1600/26%253A00+0224metemerically+segmented+worms.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcgXjwZiO5tVywM7lxv4i6OWPQe1QWOiZVVgNW9eYqjrRhZyw1k2VzyBsc2rOrAQAkuenUMC0LcJOoNMg_TTURjC6w1sdw4W216Dh1WFsIWpkTmUcqpjFKjXCTLh2GdmSuGZz8BeYx7k24/s1600/26%253A00+0224metemerically+segmented+worms.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />26:49 In the case of the human brain, more than 22 embryological segments are use to build our head, and that’s why we have a much more complicated brain. Every metameric segment can produce a pair of legs, it can produce a bit of nerve tissue centrally, and it can produce peripheral nerves coming out, and in the human brain of course because you’ve got 22 embryological segments crushed together, the nerves that come out, now called the cranial nerves, are really segmental nerves that have just been pushed together, and they’re all coming out in a bunch. It’s a wonderful thing, embryology, it’s the nearest thing to miraculous magic that you could ever observe – to watch the cells organising themselves is stunning.<br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWg6YrnSvrUvUmMuHhzHs3AFIvfEp9oigyrNWQAFrIslZBVHTKKs4J_Xq_eK0RXDZmgntPttbNYDGLy1-ib-CYQfDqiJaSeGYqz67T1-CkXO90zGIz5dxfYvRHt-fz40uwsvWr4R2JZBte/s1600/Robert+Pickard+somites+embryo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWg6YrnSvrUvUmMuHhzHs3AFIvfEp9oigyrNWQAFrIslZBVHTKKs4J_Xq_eK0RXDZmgntPttbNYDGLy1-ib-CYQfDqiJaSeGYqz67T1-CkXO90zGIz5dxfYvRHt-fz40uwsvWr4R2JZBte/s1600/Robert+Pickard+somites+embryo.jpg" height="347" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><br />27:38 In the human embryo you can still see the worm-like segments that are used to build our bodies, and these are the somites here, in a young embryo and it’s just rounding up its nerve cord here. This is where lack of folic acid will reduce DNA synthesis, and prevent the tube from rolling up properly, so you get spina bifida at the back end and hydrocephalcy at the front end, if the pregnant mother is short of folic acid at that time, because folic acid is essential for the synthesis of DNA.<br /><br /><br />28:10 Before the turn of this century, I made the first magnetic resonance images of the honeybee brain. As you know, water has a magnetic moment, so it will rotate in a magnetic field. So MRI scans work by putting a human brain or a bee brain in a magnetic field which you can oscillate, so then the water molecules spin. You can then beam in a radio wave, which will be deflected by the spinning water molecules. So what you’re looking at when you’re looking at an MRI scan is a distribution of water. And because the different tissues of the brain have different concentrations of water, you get a genuine anatomical representation. Of course we had to build a miniature MRI scanner in the medical physics department at Cardiff to do this. I’ve never published these, so you only see them when you come to one of my talks. I will publish them, one day when I have a chance to think about it.<br /><br /><br />29:24 We can cut the honeybee’s brain using a computer into 50 slices. Here you come to the back of the brain, and this is the most spectacular thing: here’s the oesophagus, travelling through the middle of the brain, because the ancestor had little bits of nervous tissue dotted around, and in the evolutionary process they were selected to become more and more condensed together, but they couldn’t get the gut out of the way, whereas if you were designing a brain, you would never run the stomach or the gut through the middle of the brain, because every time you had a bulky object you would distort the brain and generate spurious nerve impulses. So it just shows that this is an evolutionary process and every species is designed to make the best use of whatever has been bequeathed to it by its ancestors.<br /><br /><br />30:15 We often get to talk at cross purposes about brains – the story about the Welsh farmer leaning over the gate, along comes a Texan rancher on holiday. Looks at the sheep on the hillside, says ‘Are these all your sheep?’ and the farmer says oh yes, it takes me 2 hours to round up these sheep. Texan rancher says ‘when I get up as the sun rises in Texas, I go out in my big Jeep and travel all day, and the sun is setting when I get back at night after I’ve rounded up my cattle. Welsh farmer says ‘I had a car like that once’<br /><br /><br />31:19 My first job was to be able to operate on the brain so I designed a set of stocks like split collets. So as not to get stung all the time I cooled the bees in a refrigerator, put them into a plunger, and pushed the plunger through so as the bee comes forward, she sticks her head through the stocks, and then the stocks close behind. This means I could operate on the brain without damaging it because of the hardness of the head, so we taped down the antennae. The next job was to find a way of shaving the bee’s head so that I could implant micro-electronic chips into the brain, because the object of my research was to teach the bee tricks, for example sticking her tongue out. You can teach a bee to stick her tongue out for a particular molecule, a fragrance, and she’ll do that very reliably, and I wanted the micro-electronic circuit in the brain so that I could see which nerve cells were picking up the fragrance, and how the nerve cells were changing to store the memory. <br /><br /><br />32:20 I got a Swiss watch-maker’s drill with a tip of 1/40,000 mm. here’s the bees head before the operation, and here’s the patient afterwards – you can see the 3 ocelli now, the ocellus here and the two lateral occeli.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz9JjBZ2so7c6luDURBwp51W27MRSlqIDW15nowL_JUGnVLY5rqPuibhb_ifhSS-llIh0QHp2APhPoAF7rbIIDWIjGlOmI6ZH3SZBzspszxLaDz1s9c4Oo58TvQWLbxixfizQu85af3abr/s1600/33%253A45+0226+2124bee+brain.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz9JjBZ2so7c6luDURBwp51W27MRSlqIDW15nowL_JUGnVLY5rqPuibhb_ifhSS-llIh0QHp2APhPoAF7rbIIDWIjGlOmI6ZH3SZBzspszxLaDz1s9c4Oo58TvQWLbxixfizQu85af3abr/s400/33%253A45+0226+2124bee+brain.JPG" height="288" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /> With the Swiss watch maker’s drill I could cut a tiny hole to insert the electronic circuit, and then teach the bees to do tricks. The advantage of this over working on cats or dogs or human volunteers, is that the whole brain is laid out like a beautiful plan of what every brain has to have. The nerve cells work in exactly the same way as our nerve cells. They have the same chemistry, and they conduct the same impulses. If I collected impulses from a honeybee brain, and fed it into your brain, your brain cells would recognise it perfectly, but what you perceive would depend on where I introduced the signals. If I introduced them into your visual cortex, you would see meaningful colours and shapes. If I introduced those bee brain signals into your auditory cortex, you’d hear meaningful sounds. So they wouldn’t be bizarre, but the nerve cells wouldn’t reject because they’d been put together by a bee brain, because all these brains are working on the same electronic principle. Here I’ve made a big hole in the bee’s head so you can see the brain. It has the same volume of brain to body ratio that we have and dolphins have. This is an incredibly complicated Formula 1 structure. I must say when I started on bees, I gradually came to appreciate all the other things like the production of honey, but in my case I definitely fell in love with the bee for her mind rather than her body. <br /><br /> <br />34:11 Here’s where the key cells are that do the really intelligent work. The Kenyon Cells, discovered in 1896 by an American FC Kenyon. You can see the cell bodies there at the top, then those commands are coming down the wires or axons as we call them, running down towards the lower part of the brain and the thorax.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaYrpp-4yXngemUxhmnmmCXLsuz4szmhJh6Ajl1V08JLHFCiGWqZVt8W5EJ1c1IHdcFgOjQDqZ82USP8zHTDbv0CWB3m9xfNhxVh4PqMei857uoxtnmaj7ELD0ML0naInPnU0CSk5iOQBh/s1600/34%253A11+kenyon+cells+0279.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaYrpp-4yXngemUxhmnmmCXLsuz4szmhJh6Ajl1V08JLHFCiGWqZVt8W5EJ1c1IHdcFgOjQDqZ82USP8zHTDbv0CWB3m9xfNhxVh4PqMei857uoxtnmaj7ELD0ML0naInPnU0CSk5iOQBh/s320/34%253A11+kenyon+cells+0279.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />34:40 This is how it works – so it’s a beautiful model. The sensory information comes in from the eyes, the hearing system, the propriary receptors, the hairs on the body. It comes into this region that we call the calyx. This is like the managing director’s office, and the Kenyon cells are like a board of directors. If you put an electrode in here, you find all the information coming in, like information from a big corporate institution, all the information’s feeding in, and these 84,000 cells in each cup integrate all this information. They then make a decision. They make a decision individually. They produce an output frequency – brrrrrr! – like that, the nerve impulses feed out, because all the information is coded in frequency. It took us years to develop fm modulation of radio waves to prevent distortion, but of course nature had done it long before us. Because if you deliver information in frequency, it doesn’t get damaged by having to pass through phases of resistance, whereas if you produce your information in amplitude, every time you hit some resistance, the amplitude goes down, so your information gets damaged. 36:00 So the information is in the frequency –brrrr! – might mean a bright light, ‘de-de-de-de-‘ might mean a low light, that sort of thing – frequency modulated information. So, as each individual director makes its decision, and then it sends its decision down here, and in this region there is a 5 way exchange of information between the cells. And then what flows down here is a complete wave form, which is the chosen behaviour. In other words something has happened, you’ve decided to fly, the command comes down to fly. But it’s exactly copied into this region, the alpha lobe, which has a very complicated striated pattern. The information is fed back by sensory feedback to the eyes in particular. And other sense organs, so that what happens then is the new information is attached to this file, and fed back to the Kenyon cells. So they see the consequence of the behaviour that they’ve just commanded. It is a beautiful, elegant system. To show this in a human brain is like looking in a tangle of wool, trying to actually find where to put your electrodes to show this system. But in a honeybee brain it’s laid out beautifully for us.<br /><br /><br />37:23 If we put the micro electronic circuit here, and we inject electrical current, we can change the bees thinking process, but we can’t predict what the outcome will be, because we’re just adding information to its sentry system, and we don’t know what other information it’s getting. If we stimulate at this point, we can interfere with the coordination of the response, but we still can’t predict the output. But if we stimulate here, if we use just a very tiny current, the bee will either fly, or walk, or if it’s a drone attempt to copulate. In other words we can switch on the behaviour. But if you use too much current, when you stimulate the beta lobe, the bee will try and walk, fly and copulate simultaneously, because when you’ve switched on all the motor commands to the shop floor simultaneously. So this is a wonderful model for studying how to build electronic circuits that you can put into a human body, to replace lost nerve function: someone who’s been paralysed because some cells have been damaged in a car accident for example. <br /><br /><br />38:32 You could develop that circuitry working on a bee brain, and you can transfer that circuit and in fact I registered an American patent and two European patents using these chips that we developed on bee brains, and they’re now being used for all sorts of applications by different companies, some for medical applications, but some actually for agricultural ones, where they want to interrogate the environment between soil particles, because as you can imagine, the chips that I designed are very very small.<br /><br /><br />39:05 Here is the honeybee brain cut through, and there you can see the mushroom bodies, two, one on each side. And here, just for interest, I cut through the braula brain.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid37g4O5yj08FnK0UZcR976iebQGCrJNySANIbGX_tNkqpKhj3b99fMVw91RXI8NXXxxI_FWstnfqhGT8urvq6fD8euyts_NH2Uk9d41JIf168SPAvOmz4StTKrk3B3A06BGCP8qyZoZJo/s1600/39:12+0281+2121braula.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid37g4O5yj08FnK0UZcR976iebQGCrJNySANIbGX_tNkqpKhj3b99fMVw91RXI8NXXxxI_FWstnfqhGT8urvq6fD8euyts_NH2Uk9d41JIf168SPAvOmz4StTKrk3B3A06BGCP8qyZoZJo/s320/39:12+0281+2121braula.JPG" /></a><br /><br /> Now you remember the braula, the bee louse, is a little fly that’s lived with the bee for millions of years, given up its eyes, given up its wings. It just lives entirely with the bee, cleans up the bee’s mouth parts, and causes a nuisance when it’s present in high density. So it has a very simple life, and I wanted to know what its mushroom body looked like. And there’s its mushroom body – not! It’s given up its mushroom body completely! If you look at the fly that this braula is related to, like the common house fly, it has a well developed mushroom body, but it’s not as complicated as the bee’s mushroom body. The bee’s mushroom body can handle far more information in a more complex way. But here you see, we get the evidential support that the braula has very, very simple behaviour. It has no need to fly or navigate, no need to deal with a complex environment – and its mushroom body is virtually non existent. It’s a wonderful demonstration of that. <br /><br /><br />40:20 Here’s one of the microchips – the terminals go down to 2000ths of a millimetre across, and we made smaller ones than that. Just to give you a sense of size, here’s the microchip, and there’s the hole it left in this bee’s brain after the experiment. That’s the profile where this has been pulled out afterwards.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSlbXa-jqCXqpcxgDGC48R9XoTbKtup7mtlTgoL3dPa9Ipzkb7U7y_0muN2JaWFh15EXpm1u9UUw7vDvoXOz636sHAEY2xWrFOgthfO6kFoLQa_Joqc9HaO_tRAflAsaep_sPPWMjz8Ai/s1600/40:20+brain+slice0282.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSlbXa-jqCXqpcxgDGC48R9XoTbKtup7mtlTgoL3dPa9Ipzkb7U7y_0muN2JaWFh15EXpm1u9UUw7vDvoXOz636sHAEY2xWrFOgthfO6kFoLQa_Joqc9HaO_tRAflAsaep_sPPWMjz8Ai/s320/40:20+brain+slice0282.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />40:45 So what you do is put the electrode in, run an experiment recording or stimulating, then when you’re finished you can pass the current to deposit some metal ions from the ends of these terminals, which you can stain in the tissue, so afterwards you can cut a bee’s brain into 320 slices, using a piece of very sharp glass, shaving off, then you can finally leave little deposits, so you see exactly which nerve cells are sitting next to your micro electronic chip. So you can identify the cells that are doing the job. So using that we’ve been able to establish an atlas of the honeybee brain. There you can see one of the terminals in position, and I’m now going to show you the real thing – I hope this is going to work – I always have problems when I have to access programmes. What I’m going to do is access a simple graphical copy without too much detail, of the atlas of the honeybee brain that we’ve been able to put together. It’s a bit like what the butler saw – we’ll have a journey through he bee’s brain from front to back. What I believe is that in the future this will be used as a test model to develop all sorts of circuitry that can be used in alleviating brain conditions in humans in particular.<br /><br /><br />42:25 I was heartened in that, because I was asked to give a lecture to the Guided Missiles Weapon Establishment at Filton. They found the bee’s brain so suitable for devising mathematical models for guiding electronic missiles, in particular the drone brain, because the drone chases the female, locks on, copulates and then dies. It’s almost an exact model for the guided missile!<br /><br /><br />42:47 So lets see if we can find this now…sometimes if I hit the keys too quickly I will mess things up in my nervousness. Now – you can see this atlas we can access from any position. We can cut the atlas in any direction. When I first started doing this I built my model in polystyrene. I went to Caerphilly market, and I bought a second hand bacon slicer. I built several polystyrene models, and I fed them through the bacon slicer in different directions, so I could understand the 3 dimensional geometry. But now with modern computers, I don’t need to do that. I can extract sections from what I want, I can insert sections, I can do metrics for populations of cells. This will be a wonderful thing for an electronic scientist in the future. And I can animate it, so if I take some slices at 10 thousandths of a millimetre for each slice, we can then run an animation. <br /><br /><br />44:20 So now you’re travelling through the honeybee brain from front to back.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh30QrTzlDbvqU3rLmYvVVuutMuyLkVsi5_ou87ND-vJ5kg2E4JpEMdL9tTWR4JBSaX-kAm2ogOXbGi6crw6XqCKl-mmcxF3wAttlZinW9ddnjy-oOv0172BRdNRix8MjkiJZCHeQoKwWc1/s1600/45:00+bee+brain+2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh30QrTzlDbvqU3rLmYvVVuutMuyLkVsi5_ou87ND-vJ5kg2E4JpEMdL9tTWR4JBSaX-kAm2ogOXbGi6crw6XqCKl-mmcxF3wAttlZinW9ddnjy-oOv0172BRdNRix8MjkiJZCHeQoKwWc1/s320/45:00+bee+brain+2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> You’re seeing all the different major areas, and you have a blank tapestry, on which a micro electronic engineer can start to build circuitry. I’ll stop it in a couple of places… So I’ve stopped it at the front of the brain, you can see the antennal lobes. Here’s the median ocellos which is like a light meter measuring the amplitude of the available light, whereas the eyes on the side here are measuring images of course.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUYlVQD6QILWlSgKRlFPUBozZXO41_xfD3GQqya0dqwKE8TvgGGUpUzd1EHluqqKcLBdl0DrYb5Fvrxh55jYlE05TSnis3yHbU3IO8VvA3072XQLDe_SxLtbSqH7T9dNHfmQdW5rPBnN2/s1600/45:20kenyon+cell+axles.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUYlVQD6QILWlSgKRlFPUBozZXO41_xfD3GQqya0dqwKE8TvgGGUpUzd1EHluqqKcLBdl0DrYb5Fvrxh55jYlE05TSnis3yHbU3IO8VvA3072XQLDe_SxLtbSqH7T9dNHfmQdW5rPBnN2/s320/45:20kenyon+cell+axles.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Here’s the alpha lobe set up like a lovely little filing cabinet, where the cells from here are being copied here. This stratification here is exactly matched to the concentric circles you get in the cup. It’s a filing cabinet.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9xSweN_3Z24AA8qvoDQ9ng1NTtHRp3ukmjzaSOcMSva0Jc5gBLZ2ulPbo_ut4E2UW5gW2jsybp5NxX_Xr8oIhmjbFLsrAb-GuyCA3gJ_MdgXMCLckrj7wM5n7SQrTPRfRvAfFEhCZXLrn/s1600/45:30+subconscious+to+conscious.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9xSweN_3Z24AA8qvoDQ9ng1NTtHRp3ukmjzaSOcMSva0Jc5gBLZ2ulPbo_ut4E2UW5gW2jsybp5NxX_Xr8oIhmjbFLsrAb-GuyCA3gJ_MdgXMCLckrj7wM5n7SQrTPRfRvAfFEhCZXLrn/s320/45:30+subconscious+to+conscious.jpg" /></a><br /><br />45:26 there you can see the Kenyon Cell axons coming down. The cell bodies are up here, and these little elipses are the branching points coming forward to the alpha lobe.<br /><br />Here’s a little telephone exchange for relating the conscious to the subconscious. Just like us, most of their brain is subconscious. In human beings, we think we are in charge of our brains but we’re not. Our subconscious works out the answers to problems, and then informs the conscious. So you’re told secondarily what your view is on a particular subject. You don’t actually work it out and tell the rest of your body. That’s why people don’t respond very well to logical argument. Sometimes the image that the brain is responding to is created in the subconscious, but then the conscious is informed of what it’s going to do. That’s why it’s such a myth to think that if you think hard enough and long enough, you’ll understand yourself and your own character; it’s extremely difficult for the conscious brain to access the subconscious brain, and the honeybee has the same problem.<br /><br /><br />46:44 Look a little bit further… here now we’re coming into the subopothageal ganglion below the oesophagus, and there you see a match up with the MRI scan that I showed you before.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5ukOn8u2pSPd0M4qAM644a6rkUHODyVCG4UT1mYsgtKJ335eJvMOcE1xSpO5PcnLzMA8GmjGbu-ggxAkl5klZVxASOcAG1BsNaUay9KxVMLT6yrJvKTCLmKqeRUQzm_R1mPflfO7YqYK/s1600/46-44+subopothageal+oesophagus.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5ukOn8u2pSPd0M4qAM644a6rkUHODyVCG4UT1mYsgtKJ335eJvMOcE1xSpO5PcnLzMA8GmjGbu-ggxAkl5klZVxASOcAG1BsNaUay9KxVMLT6yrJvKTCLmKqeRUQzm_R1mPflfO7YqYK/s320/46-44+subopothageal+oesophagus.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> There’s the oesophagus travelling through the middle of the brain, a place you would definitely not put it if you were designing the brain from scratch. Ok, lets come out of that now… I don’t like worshiping at the altar of technology but it’s been a triumph of science, so far.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />47:20 Feedback is the key thing that maintains sanity in the human brain and bee brains. So when you create abnormal situations for a bee, the feedback is totally changed and the sanity goes out of the window. For example, putting a bee in a house where it flies against a window. The window is cutting out all ultraviolet light, which is one of the bees main contributors to its visual analysis. So when you bring a bee indoors and you wonder why it’s crashing against the window all the time, and doesn’t behave rationally in looking for a way out, it’s because you’ve put it in a feedback situation that is totally alien to the way it’s evolved over millions of years, and it’s not seeing naturally. If you put it in the presence of a light like this [fluorescent] , flickering 60 times a second. Now our flickerfusion frequency allows us to see it as a constant light, but the bee’s flickerfusion frequency is so acute, it can detect a light flickering at 100 times a second. So when you bring a bee into a room like this it’s in a discotheque. Everything’s flashing, so the poor old bee panics and just crashes against the window trying to get out of this hell that you’ve introduced it to.<br /><br /><br />48:50 So feedback is the key thing. If you have any depression in your life, any real problem that you have to cope with, you have to put yourself into the ancestral environment in which your brain evolved. That means going for long walks through forests, so that you can recalibrate your nervous system by giving it the correct feedback. Sitting in an office all day at an air conditioned level, sitting up, standing up, sitting down, behaving like a robot, stopping when the light is red, going when the light is green, not spitting, not copulating when you want to – leading a life that is so robotic is so unnatural to our brains that no wonder that when you produce such unnatural feedback, you get distortions in the physics and chemistry of your brain. So feedback is absolutely critical<br /><br /><br />49:40 Here’s the unborn baby getting its first feedback as it sorts out its motor programme.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGufj6r4mYiBDPz8xqMzmyotV4-a6Tls7jluR5ExAr28Reg1u2Nugo8l80Q-ucIewCig8NXc0HE9vaSe1y_JiBf5EDg63xdMZqIEfkHgQjnzWI5bV_xOU8QUfXaH-_iGUaj2iNTDvGvQF/s1600/49:40+Fetus.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGufj6r4mYiBDPz8xqMzmyotV4-a6Tls7jluR5ExAr28Reg1u2Nugo8l80Q-ucIewCig8NXc0HE9vaSe1y_JiBf5EDg63xdMZqIEfkHgQjnzWI5bV_xOU8QUfXaH-_iGUaj2iNTDvGvQF/s320/49:40+Fetus.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> It’s sucking its thumb. Initially it’s done this, then it’s gone like that, then it hits the mouth, then the signal goes to the brain saying ‘whatever you just did, that’s a useful programme, because it results in this’. And then it tries its legs. This is why heavy smoking pregnant women do such a disservice to their children, because the child is so anaesthetised with nicotine in the uterus, it can’t develop its basic motor programmes. When a child is born to a heavy smoking mother, the child comes out like this- it hasn’t developed any of its basic programmes.<br /><br />50:25 This process continues and you watch your child trying to drink – my son Matthew has never forgiven me for doing little things with him such as, he tried a motor programme to pick up a cup like this. Of course initially it would be like that, then it would be like this, then suddenly, because the brain doesn’t know what’s required, it’s just trying different programming until it gets a feedback. As soon as it gets a feedback it locks on to ‘whatever it is that you just did to the cerebellum, remember that, that’s programme number 22, and it results in ‘I can pick up a cup and I can now drink’. And of course as soon as Matthew did that I put a piece of plasticine underneath the cup, to change the weight of the cup, and he went woah! And then within a few more tries he got it back in his mouth, and then I took the plasticine off, and he went woah! Anyway he did forgive me eventually, and he’s now a computer programmer for the … bank in London, and if I talk to him, all I get back is ?!... But he’s a wonderful kid<br /><br /><br />51:40 Here’s what these individual cells look like of course, and the impulses are travelling down the membranes here, receiving information, then integrating it, and then distributing it. What feedback does is allows the nerve cells to be plastered(?) So if you’re just receiving information, whether it’s a bee brain or a human brain, initially the junctions between the cells, what we call synapses, will pass the information. If the information is passed a lot, then the connections between the cells multiply, so they’re reinforcing the connection. And if the information is used even more, they will recruit other cells nearby, to join that particular programme.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><br />52:30 So you can see this is how obsessions build up. The human brain is designed to be obsessive, because of this flexible plasticity created by the feedback. If you did nothing else but go to football matches, your entire brain will eventually be recruited to deal with football matches. So if you have an obsession, whether it’s eating or whatever, that’s causing you all sorts of trouble, the way to get out of it is to create another obsession, that doesn’t cause you any trouble, but will recruit these cells to take them away. <br /><br /><br />53.11 So when someone has an eating disorder, it’s like something flowing down a country lane. But if it’s a woman, say an unmarried mum living in a tower block, never having any proper conversation, just struggling with a newborn infant, no input of information, no exercising of the brain, large numbers of cells with nothing to do, they all get recruited for the obsession, because there’s one thing all brains do whether it’s a bee brain or a human brain, the cells respond to the information they’re carrying, which is totally different to a computer. Computers don’t change their circuitry in response to the information they’re carrying, but brains do. So if you want to become good at something, you rehearse that information. If you’ve got any spare cells around that are not fully occupied, they’ll be recruited to the information relationships that you’re working with. <br /><br /><br />54:06 Here in human brain, this is a slice through my own brain, I can’t understand anyone who doesn’t want to open the bonnet to see what’s in the engine – it’s like owning the car and not lifting the bonnet isn’t it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Here you can see my own brain, here’s the corpus colossus switching information from left to right brain. And here’s the key bit, the hypothalamus.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5INBSy1g7Pkj3nWTcwMvsd62UtOMdsJTaIg6PB-CwQPwJ3rc1rhIHOr1dE5SWSXYyTcMWrdZ0NG0dDigOfeYqPQDyWLVIbPYdk6sbTWPkCZy9Z653-ndtOCFH4qgH4LYukWbA6ONaS-K/s1600/54%253A30+hypothalamus+pituitary283B+2126brain.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5INBSy1g7Pkj3nWTcwMvsd62UtOMdsJTaIg6PB-CwQPwJ3rc1rhIHOr1dE5SWSXYyTcMWrdZ0NG0dDigOfeYqPQDyWLVIbPYdk6sbTWPkCZy9Z653-ndtOCFH4qgH4LYukWbA6ONaS-K/s320/54%253A30+hypothalamus+pituitary283B+2126brain.JPG" height="228" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> You can take a cubic centimetre out of this big brain, the cerebral cortex here, which is responsible for a lot of our sophisticated behaviour. <span style="color: #cc0000;">You can cut a cubic centimetre out of most places here and you’d hardly notice the difference. If you cut a cubic centimetre out of the hypothalamus here, you’d kill the person. Because this is the brain that we inherited from the synaptosaurian reptiles. They inherited it from the labyrinthodont amphibia. They inherited it from the crossopterygian fishes. It’s the true brain of the vertebrate, and all we’ve done over the evolutionary history of the vertebrate, is we’ve added this huge complexity on top of it, which is necessary to give us the level of consciousness that we humans enjoy at the moment: the ability to contemplate our own existence, the ability to contemplate the nature of everything.</span><br /><br />55:27 So here’s the hypothalamus, sitting on top of the pituitary gland. It’s responsible for all our emotional conditions. It has a pleasure centre at the front and a pain centre at the back here, and there’s a satiety centre that switches off our appetite, right next to the pleasure centre here.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So if you’ve got any spare neurons with nothing to do, they’ll lock on, and then your only pleasure in life is eating, because the pleasure centre is the value judgement centre, which determines whether or not the behaviour you’re doing should be prosecuted. So<span style="color: #cc0000;"> if by accident eating nuts and bolts sent signals to the anterior hypothalamus, you’d sit in the corner eating nuts and bolts all day and you’d be as happy as a mudlark. That’s how mechanical this system is. </span>It’s amazing. 56:22 There’s the pituitary gland. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">56: 32These are some of the wonderful aspects of the way in which we think, that create disorders now in modern human brains.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Anorexics in yellow, abstaining, lack of confidence, obsession, peer pressure, unhappiness, bulimic, bingeing, depression, distorted self image, low self esteem, purging by making themselves sick, or by over exercising- the same aspect of bulimia -, simple overeating, where you’ve got indiscipline and indulgence, and then all these other factors coming in. A huge level of complexity, determining whether you have an eating disorder or not.<br /><br /><br />57:10 And just to show you how the decisions are made in brains, I’ve chosen food choice. It works exactly the same in bees as it does in humans. Imagine here now this is the human cortex, a synaptic field receiving sensory information,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LqPmHAen_WfNpTQNx8KkwqxTdI7nO9y4krsYLFF52cqD84vhzDpXWul-d-ntbxLPUWOLV7T-sWzW7A8DxF0Ved7dK4cn3ENlVVtHxbTnvVTRXi8aUnsAmVX686A3QmiGxKpiovMYKMWy/s1600/57%253A100284HUMAN+CORTE+apple+orange+decision.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LqPmHAen_WfNpTQNx8KkwqxTdI7nO9y4krsYLFF52cqD84vhzDpXWul-d-ntbxLPUWOLV7T-sWzW7A8DxF0Ved7dK4cn3ENlVVtHxbTnvVTRXi8aUnsAmVX686A3QmiGxKpiovMYKMWy/s320/57%253A100284HUMAN+CORTE+apple+orange+decision.jpg" height="194" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and a perceptual field of the conscious here, which … the subconscious just below your choice perception, so at this point you don’t know what you’re going to choose, but at this point in a few seconds this will be tracked further over here, and you’ll perceive your choice. So let’s see what happens when you’re choosing between an apple and an orange: your sensory system picks up the smell, the shape and the colour for example, and the choice begins, lets say for apple. So in comes the smell – brrrr! – in comes the shape – de de de de! – it’s a round shape. If it’s a rectangle you might get drrrr! It’s got a greeny colour here so you get br br br br! coming in as the signal. All those frequencies are integrated, and then they pass down, and if the signals arrive at these particular positions of the subconscious, you are going to choose apple, whether you like it or not. Now the interesting thing about this is, you’ll notice that your memory of liking apples is not stapled to the record of the information coming in from the senses, (58:47) and put in a pigeon hole for you to find. Like red rag and bull. <span style="color: #cc0000;">There used to be a psychology test where you said to a prospective employee, ‘here’s a red rag, what do you think of?’ and you recorded what they said. In one case the chap who got the job said ‘sex’. Afterwards the psychologist explained that this was a very good candidate for this particular aggressive salesman’s position. The managing director said to the guy when he was appointed ‘why did you say sex when you were shown a red rag?’ And he said ‘to be honest I don’t think of anything else!’ When you talk about a one track mind, it really is one track!</span><br /><br /><br />59:35 Let’s look at the orange. Here’s the person’s subconscious trigger for orange: smell, shape, colour feeding through slightly different pathways arriving in a slightly different position. If we compare them you’ll see we’re getting the same signal on shape, which is round, but we’re getting a different signal for smell and colour, which is as you’d expect. So now we just have to ask, ‘what would this look like if this person was developing an obsession for apples?’ Rehearse eating the apple, stimulating the pleasure centre. A rehearsal that goes on really rapidly, thousands of times in a minute that will go on. And as it goes on, if there are any cells around that are not busy, they’ll be recruited to the pathway. So after a few weeks, this is what the apple pathway looks like. It’s got thicker and thicker, in terms of the number of cells involved, and even additional short cutting pathways have been added, because this is stimulating the pleasure centre in the hypothalamus, and the hypothalamus is continually saying ‘that was great, do it again’. And so, this person has no choice now. Whenever they’re faced with the choice of an orange or an apple, the system will deliver ‘apple’ to the conscious. And that’s how obsessions are built up in bees and humans.<br /><br /><br />1:01:02 And just to give you my last example, in language: All social creatures at the moment on the planet earth are controlled by the female. It’s only the males that control animals that are basically herding animals. and you’ve only got to go to football match to see that human beings are herding animals, and that’s why the male’s domination is still having an effect. But we’re going to gradually swap that the female behaviour has the dominating effect in politics, and as that happens we’ll become more social. <br /><br /><br />But it’s quite interesting, when we came out of the trees, we had two areas of brain that were totally devoted to three dimensional visual analysis. Huge numbers of cells, because if you leapt and you missed a branch, you’d die. You were caught by predators. You were injured. So we devoted huge numbers of brain cells on both sides of the brain. But when we came down out of the trees, and we started to form primitive societies and language was important, we didn’t actually have time to evolve a new brain lobe, so we redeployed the cells in our previous evolution that we used for three dimensional visual analysis. But there’s a sexual difference. One population is female, and one population is male, in this representation. And you’ll see that they’ve been given a language problem. In one group, the left hand side is lighting up, but in the other group, both sides are lighting up. They’ve modified three quarters of their three dimensional visual analysis capability for linguistic analysis. And I’m asking you now, which of them are the males, and which are the females?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /><br /><br />So whose brain is this? Male. That is, the one track, single sided, one focussed, ‘I’ve got to be a goalie or a striker’ – male brain. Here’s the multi-tasking female brain – ‘you can be a striker today and I’ll be a striker tomorrow’, sharing, coordinating, multi-tasking, and it explains of course why females have difficulty in reading maps. Because they’ve switched it to something that’s far more important, because if you’re evolving a society, communication is the key thing that holds a society together. What the honeybee has, that so many other creatures don’t have, is an incredibly sophisticated communication system. Whoever communicates effectively will eventually control the politics of a society. So we’re in that transition now, between being a herding animal, and becoming truly social.<br /><br /><br />And here I am sitting on the headland of the Bay of Naples, looking out over the Isle of Capri, and I’m thinking to myself, what a wonderful world we live in, that we take for granted. And I’m also concluding, that it’s not the path that you choose in life that determines your health and happiness, it’s the way that you walk it. Thank you </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span></span>
<div class="p1">
Went to this meeting of Surrey County Council's Planning and Regulatory Committee last Friday 13th March 2015 <a href="http://mycouncil.surreycc.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=122&MId=4397&Ver=4"><span class="s1">http://mycouncil.surreycc.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=122&MId=4397&Ver=4</span></a></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
I should have been looking after my grandson. It would have been much better use of my time, which I value as I get older, even if no one else does. And my numerous emails about the incinerator seem to have been a waste of time too.</div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
This was the 4th time I'd been to County Hall about this issue, definitely the last. They've all been a futile charade*. Never again do I want to see that condescending chairman Keith Taylor, and Ernest Mallet MBE and the one next to him.</div>
<div class="p3">
The purpose of the meeting was to stall the planning process and make a fresh application necessary. The chairman's casting vote made sure that didn't happen.</div>
<div class="p5">
by raising the issue of 'mature' trees, which was of course not the main issue. Arguing about trees as screening was an implicit acceptance of the incinerator. The core issue is whether the incinerator represents value for money, which of course it doesn't:</div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
'In the House of Commons Select Committee meeting, Margaret Hodge stated about the Eco Park 'I cannot see why you are giving money to Surrey County Council to build a hulking great incinerator in a place where nobody wants it and where it isn't needed.'…The view of many members was that Defra had continued with a 'legacy' project rather than looking at it afresh. They stated that many European Countries have built too many of these things and are now having to <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/sweden-runs-out-of-garbage/"><span class="s1">import RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel)</span></a> in order to feed them.'</div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
Why does this economically and environmentally unviable project persist? *Because it would be too expensive for SCC to get out of the contract with SiTA.</div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
The focus of objections has been on the emissions and pollution that would get produced by the incinerator. </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
What has never been questioned is the actual production of the waste, and our role as individuals in producing it. We're all destroying the planet's biodiversity, ecosystems, soil, the air; taking not giving back, and wasting resources at an accelerating rate. The incinerator is part of that process; it would require us to produce waste to feed it 24/7, which is hardly an encouragement to 'REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE' is it? We don't have to buy plastic packaging, which is the main content of the waste. If we stopped creating waste, the incinerator wouldn't exist.</div>
<div class="p3">
</div>
<div class="p3">
I used to enjoy going to the dump. I would take trade waste to the bottom bit and bring recycling to the top area. You could rescue things between boot and skip - 'are you throwing that away?' Not any more. Someone bears down on you, closely watched by CCTV camera, saying it is SITA's property now. So perfectly serviceable things get chucked and you can't do anything about it.</div>
<div class="p3">
With one or two exceptions, staff used to be friendly and helpful. Now they're too scared of the cameras. It feels as if SITA is doing us a big favour by allowing us to take our recycling there. They are not good on PR, and not encouraging of our efforts at recycling.</div>
<br />
<div class="p4">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">---------------------------</span></span></span><br />
<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I haven’t had a leaflet about this, so am forwarding this to anyone who cares about the environment, about the proposed incinerator which will impact not only locally but on the whole planet. <br />
Here is a link to an interesting R4 programme earlier this year about this subject:<br />
<br />
</span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><u><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qm4ph">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qm4ph</a><br />
</u></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">By 2020 the UK must significantly reduce its landfill habit. A recent<br />
government report warned that we would run out of landfill space by 2018 and<br />
a European Directive means we must reduce the amount of waste sent to<br />
landfill from 48% to 35% or face big fines. Next year landfill tax will hit<br />
£80 per tonne. Unsurprisingly there has been a huge rise in planning<br />
applications for incinerators. 90 are proposed to add to the 30 currently in<br />
operation. Waste is big business. Tom Heap visits existing sites where our<br />
rubbish is currently being shipped abroad to create energy and heat in<br />
Europe and asks whether it is time we followed suit.<br />
New technologies such as gasification are currently being developed which<br />
will provide even more heat and power from our residual waste and they<br />
promise to be far cleaner than the mass burn incinerators on the continent,<br />
yet opposition remains strong. 'Costing the Earth' hears from local<br />
residents who fear the health implications if dioxins formed in the high<br />
temperatures are released. Environmental campaigners argue that <b>even if the<br />
health risks can be addressed this solution only creates more carbon dioxide<br />
emissions when what we really need is more recycling and less initial waste.<br />
</b>In his film 'Trashed' actor Jeremy Irons looks at how our waste affects our<br />
health and that of the planet. Tom asks if it's time for a national strategy<br />
on what goes into our bins and where our rubbish ends up.</span></span>

A description of the </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">schools</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> visits to Twickenham Apiary that I am involved in. Because of the vital part of honeybees in ecosystems, I think that educating children about honeybees should be a greater priority than recruiting future beekeepers. Most of them wont become beekeepers, and </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">don't</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> need to become beekeepers. The children are urban and there are already more hives in Greater London than in the rest of the country, and there are now numerous problems with urban beekeeping. But they do need to know about honeybees, and do want to know about them. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">My agenda was to highlight the connection with, and the difference between us and bees, because this was an effective way to </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">get children</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> interested. Also, to get the children to appreciate their dependence on bees.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Jan 2013</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Are we educating future beekeepers during these school visits? Of the 700+ children that came to the Apiary last summer, how many are likely to become beekeepers? The general consensus was, not many.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">This begs the question of why we teach them things that would be relevant if they were to become beekeepers, but are of no relevance if they are not, such as </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">bee anatomy</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">brood cycle</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">hive types</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">trying on veils</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">looking at smokers</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">hive products for us, not bees</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">stings</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">These aspects are covered by</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">The BBKA Bees in the Curriculum Schools Pack, which also includes word searches and pictures to colour in, none of which really educates children about the importance of bees. As </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">the content of our school visits reflects the content of the Schools pack, a lot of valuable time gets spent on disseminating this irrelevant information.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;"> It would be great if it could be less focussed on beekeeping and honey, and more focussed on the sections about :</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">plants and bees </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">pollination</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">waggle dance - not the waggle dance game, but the meaning and purpose of communication</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">inside a beehive - castes and their roles</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">It would be even better if it could also include sections on </span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">social characteristics - co-operation, communication etc</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">the problems for bees and the wider ecosystem</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">propolis</span></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">The questions asked, not only by the children but by teachers and parents, refer not to beekeeping, but to their concerns about the problems with bees, and bees as food pollinators.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">The time we spend with the children is only an hour, and is a precious opportunity to share information that has a direct relevance to their lives, and to connect them with the natural environment. Urban children are very disconnected from the natural world. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">As beekeepers our role should be to share our valuable knowledge and give the children an insight into one part of the natural world, one that most will be unlikely to ever see again.</span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Like most people, children will only remember about three things from their visit, and this is borne out by their feedback forms. I try and emphasise these aspects:</span></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">social characteristics ('the queen is not the boss', cooperation e.g. building comb)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">importance of communication for humans and bees - bee dance = symbolic communication unique to humans and bees</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">female and male characteristics (roles of workers/girls and drones/boys)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">flowers and bees, symbiosis</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">pollination of our food (= variety in pollen/bees' diet/human diet)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">honey - content, amount made by a bee, value to bees.</span></li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">propolis - content, origin, protection value to bees, antibiotic anti-fungal properties useful for us.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">problems for bees - us, varroa, lack of diversity, lack of forage and habitat, pesticides</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">helping bees - planting trees, increasing habitat</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">The format for the schools visits is very successful. The video we show is a 10 minute edited version of 'The Dancing Bees' by Gil Sentinella. The film is good but would benefit from being purpose made for the visits, as there is some irrelevant information in there. Chris Deaves made an edited version of a David Attenborough film for older children, but it was a bit chopped about and didn't work very well.</span></span></div>

These links are to what my recent jury service at Isleworth Crown Court was about. The articles are full of inaccuracies and portray a very black and white picture which is far from the complex story that unfolded over three weeks for our poor confused brains to decipher. Our verdict has apparently unleashed a lynch mob mentality on the message boards, so I wanted to offer some observations about Lucy the person as opposed to Lucy the cruel monster. There were other people implicated in the trafficking and ABH charges by the way – her husband and a woman called Mama Yedje, both nowhere to be found.<br />
<br />
Rather than being evil, Lucy struck me as a sad, distorted woman. It was hard to relate to her as a fellow human being, partly because her ambition and looking down on the ‘servants’ was so unnatural for a woman, partly because she was such a chronic liar, and self deceiving, which seemed to stem from an insecure need to be seen as above others – a super-mummy, ‘highly educated’ (a degree in economics apparently acquired in Nigeria aged 16!), qualified in counselling and child protection (!), and ordained as a pastor. The African interpretation of Christianity – Old Testament judgement with lots of smiting – shows there isn’t really an inconsistency with her position and her treatment of the girls. She was ‘on her computer 24/7’ writing a book called Parenting God’s Way while not doing much parenting. She also wrote a book called U Carry a Seed, about God wanting us to be fruitful, not barren. Two of her children have sickle cell anaemia, one with spine degeneration. This is a condition which is carried in the genes of both parents, and causes a lot of pain and suffering for the children –not a great seed to carry<br />
<br />
Her need for a stick was very real, rather than an attempt to get sympathy – she was in a lot of pain from osteoarthritis. Both women – there was another woman (who I wanted to hug when she cried) who we found not guilty – seemed to not have very natural or satisfactory lives here, despite presumably coming here for ‘a better life’. The other woman had chronic back pain from having 2 epidurals – apparently offered as standard by the NHS, just as bottles of formula used to be brought round on trolleys as standard practice, which diminished breastfeeding. <br />
During the jury service I read the attached article and thought -those women should be doing what that Sudanese woman is doing.<br />
<br />
This whole horrible case is the result of corruption in Nigeria, which is the legacy of the slave trade and colonialism, and I don’t believe that punishment and filling prisons at great expense is an effective solution, so I felt really bad about us sending Lucy A down, and her children into care - until we talked to the Paladin team policewomen outside the court. They said that:<br />
1)Nigerian people trafficking was rife, and this was a small example of what is going on. <br />
2)that they had had a really hard time getting the two girls to come and testify, meaning that the girls’ very upsetting description of events, which was all we really had to go on, was not something they wanted to revisit willingly. The relative on the message board who said ‘these people that have claimed to be treated as slaves have deceived the public’ was wrong- we were not deceived. They were not trying to deceive, their emotion was real and raw all these years later. There was no doubt that their lives had been blighted by their experience. <br />
<br />
Three things stood out about the jury service itself:<br />
It felt like a culture shock after 2 years away from the big wide world. I was amazed at how many young smokers there were, and how many celebrity magazines there were in the jury assembly room. There was a specialist sports school for boys next to the court, and I noticed that their playing field was Astroturf, so they would walk on pavements to their homes and never encounter anything natural, even grass, in their lives. After seeing the effects of urban life, going back to trees and clean air each day felt like a return to sanity. <br />
<br />
In the jury room itself, we had a unique opportunity over three weeks to communicate and learn from a diverse group of people that would never see each other again. Instead, everyone was buried in a Kindle, or sports pages of papers, or iPhones. It was strange, but maybe it’s too much being thrust into this artificial situation. I found it an interesting, enriching experience though, because I like thinking and having my habits of thought overturned. One of the jurors was a beekeeper who was Asian but had been born in Kenya, and had a lot of useful insights into African culture - my experience is of African dancing and music. The younger people picked up on things the older people missed and vice versa. The barristers were very careful with words, we were much more casual and inaccurate with them, betraying unconscious prejudices.<br />
<br />
Three weeks in a windowless courtroom was pure theatre, with people with wigs and gowns putting on a performance for us. Lucy’s barrister, who we nicknamed Ms Steely, was particularly impressive, if unsuccessful. It was quite surreal too, peering into other people’s lives and cultures, and trying to distinguish between reality and illusion. It was also completely exhausting!<br />
