People's Liberation Army of Turkey

## Goals
THKO thought it was impossible to struggle for independence and democracy within the present Turkish legal framework. They planned peaceful methods of struggle in Turkey. The organization struggled for what they called a "National Democratic Revolution". One of the main goals was to "rid Turkey of all things American". 

The main thesis of THKO were:
#Revolution with the goal of a completely independent and truly democratic Turkey.
#People's war should be carried out on the basis of the alliance of the proletariat, peasantry and petty bourgeoisie
#The communist party ("party of the working class") and People's Army should be the two basic organisations of people's war.
#These two organisations would be built during the war period by support of the masses
#THKO was a unique organisation, performing the functions of both these two organisations simultaneously.

THKO was shut down in 6 May 1972. The founders were executed. The execution was accepted by 273 votes to 48 votes out of 450 total votes in the parliament.

Cuckoo bee

'', sleeping. It is anchored by its mandible.]]

**Cuckoo bees** lay their eggs in the nests of other bees, rather like cuckoo birds. They are kleptoparasites, a term which means parasitism by theft. In this case the theft is of food stored for the host larvae.

Females of cuckoo bees lack the special long hairs which collect pollen. Also, they do not make their own nests. They often have reduced body hair, thick exoskeleton, and saber-like mandibles.

They enter the nests of pollen-collecting species, and lay their eggs in cells made by the host bee. When the cuckoo bee larva hatches it eats the host larva's pollen ball. If the female has not already done so, it kills and eats the host larva. In a few cases the invading female stays in the host nest and lays many eggs. Sometimes it kills the host queen and replaces her. Species like that are often called 'social parasites'. Some are referred to as 'brood parasites'. There is a whole subfamily of bees which do this, the Nomadinae (nomad bees).

The behaviour has evolved many times in bees. 16 times parasitism of social species has evolved (mostly in the family Apidae), and there are 31 lineages which parasitize solitary bees. Altogether there are several thousand species of kleptoparasites, a large proportion of overall bee diversity.
