More news →Bees sting Shaam
Shaam was introduced as a 'chocolate hero' in the film '12B' directed by the late Jeeva and continued to don similar roles without much success. He has now worked hard to change his image as an action hero and is being roped in for a number of movies like 'Anthony-yaar', 'Sivamayam' and 'Agam Puram'. This macho makeover had prompted some bees to fight him in order to see if he is strong enough'. (Just kidding) Shaam stays in an apartment near Loyola College and a bee hive had been on a tree for quite some time. Neighborhood pigeons decided to feast on some honey and disturbed the peace and tranquility of the hive. Unaware of all this Shaam, who was watching TV at the time was stung severely especially on the face. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. It is not clear if there were any other bee-sting victims.
Bees attack 'PUC' film team
The bees at the Reva College near Yelahanka attacked the 20 plus 'PUC' film shooting members and all of them were rushed to the nearest hospital for medical aid. However after a few hours the shooting continued for this Abhayajyothi Cine Creations maiden venture by producer Sharana Gowda Patil. it was at the last schedule of shooting of a song for the film when the bees bite the unit members. Directors SR Brothers not wasting much of the time started the song shooting of Naviruvudhe Heege Nammishtadha heege' that was captured on Chetan Chandra, Harshika Poonachcha and Charisma. This is a must see film for teenage boys and girls with their parents says SR Brothers. Suresh Babu is the cameraman. Raviraj has scored the music for this film. Ramakrishna, Avinash, Vinayaprakash, Sadhu Kokila are also in the cast.
The busy bees
They may not be big stars. But both Sivaji and Srikanth are huge popular among the public and also very busy. The two heroes are humble and hence are also sought after by the producers and directors. Sivaji is now shooting for three films, and the fourth one is soon going to be launched. Sivaji is cast in director Shyamprasad's Sitharamudu, an action movie with Ankita. Tata Birla Madhyalo Laila is his second film with Laya for the third time in his career. Srinivas Reddy who directed Adirindayya Chandram, is the director of this flick. Sivaji then has Mallikarjun Yeluri's Nee Navve Chalu with Sindhu Tolani and Nikitha being the heroines. Srikanth has had two film released this summer. They are Evandoy Srivaru and Mayajalam He has Srikrishna 2006 for Suresh Productions and then it would be on to Mrs Srikanth. So good guys do finish well.
Meera Jasmine attacked by bees
Actress Meera Jasmine would have wished for once that bees had intelligence enough to match Telgu film fans love and craze for their film stars. So what is the reason? The south Indian beauty was attacked by bees on April 3 2008 near to Charla Maisamma temple in Keshampet mandal in Kanabubnagar district. She was there for the shooting of the film 'Gorintaku'. Meera acts as the sister of the hero Rajashekar in this film. Arthi Agarwal is the heroine. The bees from a nearby beehive put their wrath on all the crew members. The bees reportedly injured Merra's face. She was quickly taken to the hospital and the unit moved to Hyderabad.
Researchers outfit honey bees with RFID 'backpacks' in global health study
Honey bees are critical to pollinating a third of the world's food supply, but their population is on the decline due to unknown factors that are threatening their health. A research team lead by Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, is working with the Global Initiative for Honey Bee Health (GIHH) in a new study designed to identify factors that may be harming the global bee population. This decline in the bee population began in the late 1990s when beekeepers worldwide noticed a sudden and precipitous decrease in the number of bees and honey bee colonies. Research suggests pesticides, pathogens and climate change may contribute to this decline, but no single cause has been identified. This latest study will use small RFID micro-sensors that are attached to individual bees using tweezers and super glue. Each sensor is like a license plate, containing a unique code to identify individual bees in a larger population. The sensors do not interfere with the bee and will remain affixed for the duration of the bee's life. To collect behavioral data, the researchers will use solar-powered Intel Edison boards inside the hive and receivers placed in the vicinity of the hive to record the movements of the bees. The data collected from this sensor system will help scientists identify stresses that influence the movement and behavioral patterns of the hives that are being studied. "The tiny technology allows researchers to analyze the effects of stress factors including disease, pesticides, air pollution, water contamination, diet and extreme weather on the movements of bees and their ability to pollinate," Professor Paulo de Souza, CSIRO Science Leader, said. "We're also investigating what key factors, or combination of factors, lead to bee deaths on mass." Initially, thousands of bees in Australia will be outfitted with these RFID backpacks in a multi-year initiative. Scientists hope to expand this program globally to 1000 hives worldwide with more than 2.5 million bees equipped with this tracking technology.
