Locustacarus buchneri is a parasitic mite that lives in the respiratory air sacs of bumblebees.
 They are relatively host-specific and are found primarily in the subgenus "Bombus sensu stricto".
 Bees infested with the mite have a reduced lifespan in laboratory conditions, and although in one study they foraged at a rate similar to uninfected bees, infected bees showed a greater preference for a single flower type.
 Prevalence varies, but infection appears to be more common among commercial colonies than wild populations.
 Among colonies commercially imported from the Netherlands and Belgium to Japan, infestation rates were 20%.
 In South America, prevalence is very low in native populations.
 In Canada, there was evidence that commercial bumblebee populations were spreading "L. buchneri" to wild populations.
Vanishing of the Bees is a 2009 documentary film by Hive Mentality Films & Hipfuel Films, directed by George Langworthy and Maryam Henein and released in the United Kingdom in October 2009.
 The story is centered on the sudden disappearance of honey bees from beehives around the world, caused by the poorly understood phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD.
 Although the film does not draw any firm scientific conclusions as to the precise cause or causes of CCD, it does suggest a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and CCD.
Peter Eric Enns (born January 2, 1961) is an American biblical scholar, theologian, and writer.
 He has written widely on hermeneutics, the relationship between religion and science, the creation–evolution controversy, and Old Testament interpretation.
 Outside of his academic work Enns is a contributor to "HuffPost" and "Patheos".
 He has also worked with Francis Collins' The BioLogos Foundation.
 He is perhaps best known for his book "Inspiration and Incarnation", which challenged conservative/mainstream Evangelical methods of biblical interpretation.
 He is also notable for his book "The Evolution of Adam", in which he questions the belief that Adam was a historical figure.
 and his most recent books "The Bible Tells Me So: Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read It" and "The Sin of Certainty: Why God Desires Our Trust More than Our 'Correct' Beliefs".
"The Bible Tells Me So" is a 1955 gospel pop hit written by Dale Evans.
 Nick Noble's version was the first of two to chart.
 It features the Lew Douglas orchestra and backing vocals by the Jack Halloran Choir.

Aaron's rod refers to any of the staves carried by Moses's brother, Aaron, in the Torah.
 The Bible tells how, along with Moses's rod, Aaron's rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded the Exodus.
 There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rod's power.
Bumblebees ("Bombus" spp.)
, like the honeybee ("Apis" spp.)
 collect nectar and pollen from flowers and store them for food.
 Many individuals must be recruited to forage for food to provide the hive.
 Some bee species have highly developed ways of communicating with each other about the location and quality of food resources ranging from physical to chemical displays.
 Honey bees are known for their specialized dances, such as the waggle dance which recruit other bees to the precise location of the food source.
 Bumblebees are not capable of transmitting this type of detailed information.
 Instead, the nest serves as a hub where bees receive information about the foraging bouts of her conspecifics.
 Differences between the communication methods of honeybees and bumblebees are mainly due to differences in colony size and nest structure.
 Bumblebees are distinct from honeybees because they lack receiver bees (bees in the nest which receive pollen and nectar from incoming foragers during unloading) and are not capable of trophallaxis (the transfer of nectar from one bee to another).
 They deposit collected nectar directly into the honey pots and don’t share information of the quality of the resource with other bees through nectar transfer.
 Another bee may sample the nectar brought into the nest, and if the colony is in need of food or the nectar is high quality she will likely go out foraging herself.
 Other means of alerting passive bees to a potentially rewarding resource include releasing pheromone signals and increasing physical activity.

For the Bible Tells Me So is a 2007 American documentary film directed by Daniel G. Karslake about homosexuality and its perceived conflict with Christianity, as well as various interpretations of what the Bible says about same-sex sexuality.
The Monkey Bible: A Modern Allegory is a 2010 novel written by author Mark Laxer.
 The Monkey Bible tells the story of character Emmanuel, a deeply religious man who discovers he may not be completely human.
Stingless bees, sometimes called stingless honey bees or simply meliponines, are a large group of bees (about 500 species), comprising the tribe Meliponini (or subtribe Meliponina according to other authors).
 They belong in the family Apidae, and are closely related to common honey bees, carpenter bees, orchid bees, and bumblebees. Meliponines have stingers, but they are highly reduced and cannot be used for defense, though these bees exhibit other defensive behaviors and mechanisms.
 Meliponines are not the only type of "stingless" bee; all male bees and many female bees of several other families, such as Andrenidae, also cannot sting.
