Ancient Tunicate Fossil Unveils Soft Tissues and Intriguing Secrets

Scientists initially believed they had discovered Ediacaran fossils in the Bhimbetka Rock Shelters in India, which would have rewritten our understanding of the region's geological history. However, a recent study revealed that the supposed fossils were actually decayed beehives, debunking the initial identification. This retraction calls into question the age of the rocks and highlights the challenges of dating formations without known fossils. The incident also raises doubts about the reliability of radiometric dating methods and the interpretation of paleontological evidence for evolution.

Rare Celestial Event: Venus Passes Through Beehive Cluster

On June 12 and 13, 2023, Venus, the brightest planet, will pass by the Beehive star cluster, appearing as a big, bright diamond passing by dozens of tiny distant diamonds. The Beehive star cluster is located in the constellation Cancer and is about 577 light-years distant. Binoculars will be needed to spot the cluster's stars, and telescopes will reveal more of the 1,000 members of the Beehive cluster.

Omaha Beekeeper Takes Drastic Measures to Stop Spread of Deadly Bee Disease

An Omaha beekeeper, Mark Welsch, incinerated around 50,000 bees to prevent the spread of American foulbrood, a contagious disease that can kill bees. Welsch found one of his hives infected with the disease and decided to incinerate the bees after putting them in soapy water. He believes incineration is the best way to stop the spread of the disease and wants other local beekeepers to be aware of it.

Utah's New State Flag Made Official by Governor Cox's Signature.

Utah has officially changed its state flag to feature a large yellow beehive at its center with red, white, and blue running horizontally in the background. The old flag has been designated as a "historic state flag." The replaced flag was the state’s original design that was made in 1903 by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Gov. Spencer Cox signed a bill and an executive order formalizing the change and allowing both flags to be flown in tandem at the state Capitol.
