Also, the medicines used prophylactically to prevent bacterial infection may weaken the bees’ defense to the effect of chronic sublethal exposure to multiple pesticides, including those that prevent harm coming to the hive from Varroa mites. My conclusion for that paper is that further research is needed to quantify synergistic effects between pesticides and use measurement endpoints other than honeybee mortality to quantify the effect of chemicals such as imidicloprid, which confuses bees and the workers are likely to wander off and forget where their hive is.

Suffice to say, I’ve been brain-deep in bee for the past few days. Being the sole Entomologist in the class (and pretty sure I’m the only Entomologist at my institution of Higher Learning), I ended going way off the deep end and wrote 10 pages for what I found out later was supposed to be a 2 page assignment. This weekend was completely spent on an assignment for my Environmental Studies class, and it was a review of the factors contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder. Let me start out this week’s insect fact with a little anecdote. Word on the streets (of the Internet) is that Artix Entertainment is making its very first 3D game! Since space is limited, we're giving everyone who has ever purchased Varium in EpicDuel, along with members of the other AE games, a chance to grab your favorite name before anyone else! For more information, please check out, your source for all things AdventureQuest 3D, and the future home of the Artix Entertainment portal. See the Exile Soldier in the Bazaar (next to Titan) for more info and to begin Part II of the Heartbreaker Saga. Could he be an asset? An enemy? What is his plan? These questions and more will be answered in Part II of the Heartbreaker Saga. Alexander, players will meet one of Administrator 12’s lackeys, a man nicknamed by the Exiles as “NegaWraith” due to his uncanny resemblance to the interstellar assassin Nightwraith. We may be repurposing the arcade in future updates with minigames and other fun extraneous things to do (like 'Battle Fruits'!). If you’re impatient and want to buy a refurbished bot, you can buy him (for credits only) at Junker. Since it’s rusty and secondhand, this bot has similar effects to the Assault Bot, but he’s a little weaker. We’re also adding another dropped bot: the Rusty Assault Bot. With mission rewards and power hour, there are many more reliable ways to get credits. I wonder if there's anyone who could fix them? Unfortunately, with the revaming of the drop system, the random credit bonuses and home prizes are going away forever. Rumor has it that there may also be some 'broken' items that are unusable. We will also be slashing prices on home items! This means there's never been a better time to decorate!įollowing the success of the lowbie drops, we’ve expanded PvP drops to include weapons for everyone! You get a drop! And you get a drop! In addition to expanding the PvP drop weapons to include weapons for all levels, we are adding the Hoverbike and Assault Bot to the mix. If you own a home, you will now be able to restrict access to your home to make it private (only you have access), to your buddy list only, or just let everyone come in and track dirty mud all over your carpets! Starting Friday, you’ll be able to see whose home you’ve invaded, and homeowners will be able to restrict access to their homes. He’s brought along with him some new housing features. Squiddles.ĭue to the paint in his office still being wet, Raymus wasn’t quite ready to open shop last week, but he’ll (hopefully) get the contractors out of the building by Friday. I’ve put heart socks on the Squidlings for the occasion, but I’m sure you’re having just as much fun as Mr. Hope all of you are having a wonderful and love-filled Valentine’s Day, not-so-bitter Singles Awareness Day, anticipatory Clearance Chocolates Eve, or a great Tuesday. Behind the scenes information about EpicDuel's development and releases, a real-time PVP MMO that you can play online in your web browser.
