A chance discovery at a cemetery in Ithaca, New York has led scientists to uncover one of the largest known aggregations of ground-nesting bees ever recorded, with an estimated 5.5 million individuals of the species Andrena regularis living beneath the soil.
When you bow to another, are you really bowing to them with all your being, or are you just going through the motions? If you are committed to living the word, then it’s okay to say it. In fact, if you understand and really mean it, then it’s good to say namaste.
