About Honey Bees

Its all about a tiny busy creature which is in this earth for more than 150 million years. its unbelievable that there are 20,000 bee species in which just seven are real honey bees. There are also other 800 species of bees without Sting which produce honey. The honey of Sting-less bee is sweeter than the honey of Honey bee. The scientific name of honey bee is"Apis mellifera". The honey produced by the Honey bees contains "pinocembrin", an antioxidant which is associated with improved brain functioning.

Honey is actually produced and stored to keep the colony alive in the winter and at the time when they cant fly. The most interesting thing of these wonderful creatures are the procedure of making honey. They visit hundreds and hundreds of flower's, eating the nectar and regurgitate what they have eaten, this will mix with the preservative enzymes form their own honey stomach. once the mixer(honey) is ready then they will fill in the hexagonal cells. then they fan the hive with their wings to evaporate the water from the mixer in the cells. After this work is done 20% of the water wont be there in the mixer. this is done to stop the change of sugar to a form of alcohol(fermenting). The honey comb wont melt as the bees will maintain a constant temperature of 95 degree Fahrenheit. They use their wings to fan and they also collect water instead of honey to make the hive cool on hot days.

The honey bee's are fast enough to cross 6 miles in an hour. with there wings stroke incredibly fast at 200 beats per second. A worker honey bee will produce one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its life time.
Honey bees are really hard workers.

Nokia

It is really interesting to know some information about a world famous mobile company. I came across some information about Nokia from my friends which really interesting.
Do you know when and through which network the first GMS call was made? It was in 1991 at Helsinki by a Nokia-supplied network and the prime minister of Finland Harri Holkeri made the first GSM call and the interesting thing is, he was using a Nokia phone.
Each and every one knows about the “Nokia Tune”. It is a guitar work by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega in 19th century and the name is "Gran Vals". The same name ("Gran Vals") was present in the Nokia phone. But later in 1998 it was changed to “Nokia Tune”.
Have you ever seen number 4 in any of the Nokia handset model number; you can’t because number 4 is considered as unlucky in Southeast/East Asia.
The tone available on Nokia phones when receiving SMS is Morse code for "SMS" and the "Ascending" SMS tone is Morse code for the slogan "Connecting People”. Again the Standard SMS tone is Morse code for "M".
Eric Spiekermann designed the Nokia corporate font AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font. Before using the current font, Nokia was using Agfa Rotis Sans Font in its mobile phone user’s guides and also in advertisements.

In 1896 he moved to Swiss Federal Polytechnic School at Zurich in Switzerland, there he was trained to be teacher in Physics and Mathematics. he got his degree in 1901 and his doctor's degree in 1905.

He invented the theory of Photoelectric Effect in 1905 and in the same year he gave the Theory of Relativity (E=mc²). In 1911 he got the answer for the question why the sky is Blue? In 1922 he got the noble prize in physics for the year 1921 especially for his Photoelectric effect. He introduced his Refrigerator in 1926. Einstein Died in 18 of April 1955.

He appeared for his university entrance exam in 1895 where he cleared only maths and science papers.
Before world war II Einstein was well known in America so people on streets would stop him and ask him to explain the theory. Finally he found a solution to get ride of this, that is he told questioners “Pardon me, sorry! Always I am mistaken for Professor Einstein”
