Bizarre clip shows Quebec forest ‘breathing’


“During a rain and windstorm event the ground becomes saturated,
‘loosening’ the soil’s cohesion with the roots as the wind is blowing on
a tree’s crown,” arborist Mark Vanderwouw told The Weather Network.

“The
wind is trying to ‘push’ the trees over, and as the force is
transferred to the roots, the ground begins to ‘heave’. If the winds
were strong enough and lasted long enough more roots would start to
break and eventually some of the trees would topple.”

Pterocarpus Angolensis is a tree
native to South Africa. It’s also commonly known as the bloodwood tree
due to the fact that when it’s chopped or damaged, a deep red sap which
looks eerily similar to blood, seeps from the tree. In fact, the purpose
of the sap is to coagulate and seal the wound to promote healing, much
like blood.

Honey bee (Apis cerana japonica)　

毎年恒例の分蜂の季節　
今年はお向かいさんの庭に集結　
古巣から巣立った女王と、腹一杯に蜜を蓄えた働きバチ達　
行先が決まりつつあるのか中央では
距離と方角を伝える八の字ダンスがしきりと行われ中。
それにしてもこんなに小さい分蜂群は初めて、、、頑張ってほしい

Annual bee season every year. This year we gather in Oppa’s garden. The queen nested from the old nest and worked bees who stored honey on their belly.

Whether the destination is being determined or in the middle.

The eight character dance that conveys the distance and direction is being done quietly.

Even so, for the first time this small group of bee …. Please do your best.
