#Stingless Bees Mumify Attackers That Cant Be stung Stingless bee Scientists have discovered that bees use more than their stingers to defeat potential attackers.
New Scientist reports that researchers from The swiss Bee Research Centre in Bern have discovered a species of bee an Australian stingless bee called Trigona Carbonaria that has developed a previously unseen way to ward off attackers.
In one unsettling incident last June armed attackers descended on the park headquarters killing park rangers
and kick or bite its attacker. Where food is mostly plentiful year-round such as the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania they lead a sedentary life.
and only the use of naval gunfire from the ships that were still there drove the attackers off.
#Prehistoric Poop Reveals Neanderthals Ate Plants Don't call them brutes. Neanderthals ate their veggies. Traces of 50000-year-old poop found at a caveman campground in Spain suggest that modern humans'prehistoric cousins may have had a healthy dose of plants in their diet researchers say.

Turns out the man's attackers probably Africanized honeybees according to the local fire department are not as deadly as their name may suggest.

War is one side defending itself against another aggressor. Often they're both at fault. But typically one far more than another and particularly in this case one not at all.

Study finds important genes in defense responsewhen corn plants come under attack from a pathogen they sometimes respond by killing their own cells near the site of the attack committing cell suicide to thwart further damage from the attacker.
--focusing the attackers on a target they would have passed otherwise simply by. This signaling system triggers a structure in bacteria that actually looks a lot like a syringe
If the surface is damaged hot foam is sprayed in the face of the attacker. This technology could be used to prevent vandalism
