ARS Microscopy Research Helps Unravel the Workings of a Major Honey Bee Pest. The microscopy images are part of a major study showing that the Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) feeds on the honey bee’s fat body tissue (an organ similar to the human liver) rather than on its “blood,” (or hemolymph). This discovery holds broad implications for controlling the pest in honey bee colonies. https://www.pnas.org/content/116/5/1792

The word Adamah is rooted in the Hebrew language (Adam – man, Adamah – earth) and is interpreted as the “land from which man was made”.  At its roots lies the recognition of our species intrinsic connection to the earth and the inherent responsibility to protect and sustain it.
