<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Here is our latest video. As you
can see from the video byline, we borrowed this idea from the fabulous
free thinkers at the USDA Micro-Hymenoptera Lab at the Smithsonian. We
now use this technique for all our large batches of bees. In addition
to speeding up the quantity and quality of our specimen preparation it
also permits separation of large from small fractions of insects. The
USDA folks are always interested in those small, mostly neglected fractions,
even if you are not. </font>

I thought the earth remembered me,<br>
she took me back so tenderly,<br>
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets<br>
full of lichens and seeds.<br>
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,<br>
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars<br>
but my thoughts, and they flowed light as moths<br>
among the branches of the perfect trees.<br>
All night I heard the small kingdoms<br>
breathing around me, the insects,<br>
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.<br>
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,<br>
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning<br>
I had vanished at least a dozen times<br>
into something better.</font><font size=3 face="Tahoma"><br>
