| Description |
Bee Swap. Do you trade in bees? Probably not, but there is a world (a very small world) where people try to put names on bees and this world is aswirl with bee swapping. That insular world trucks almost entirely in dead bees on pins, because to id a bee you have to look at all sorts of minute things under a microscope. Not so easy. On Andrena species (like this A. lapponica that was collected in Slovakia by Peter Šima where he notes it was collected in a "Beech forest interior, clearing with Salix sp. in bloom, close to Stužická rieka river" ) the characters you look at might be: the shape of legs, the length of the second antennal segment compared to the first segment, the color of the hairs on the face, the length of the mandibles, how close the simple ocelli are to the back of the head, The amount of branching of the hairs on the hind legs, and a plethora of technical and therefore jargon filled characters that don't leave the rooms of bee heads. Because bee id is hard, this small bee world is constantly sending specimens around the "real" world for study, dna extraction, second opinions, all part of a mostly old fashioned world of sharing. If you have a microscope, you can join the club. Just sayin'.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See We are resolved into the supreme air, We are made one with what we touch and see, With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, With our young lives each spring impassioned tree Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change. - Oscar Wilde
