Bee-keeping for profit

Morley W. S.

Publisher: Skyline

Summary

The question of the hive is, of course, the all-important one to the bee-keeper; upon it depends in very large measure the success or non-success of his enterprise. To the beginner, especially, it is a matter for serious consideration, one not to be dealt with in any haphazard fashion. There are so many forms and varieties of hive on the market to-day that the novice, who perhaps started out with the idea that a hive was merely "a hive—any one would do—and the bees would accomplish the rest," is puzzled as to how to make a selection. As a general recommendation in this direction I would say, select the one that is least complicated and easiest to clean . Simplicity in working, combined with efficiency in its purpose, is a sure and safe standard to apply when selecting a hive. It is as well for the beginner to try one or two varieties, so that he may find out by experience which is better suited to his particular district, and the most convenient to manipulate. That settled, he can then adopt for general use the one best suited to his purpose.

From Big Bang to Black Holes -...

Dirk Fallon

The origins of the universe are a subject of profound scientific interest and philosophical debate. The most widely accepted explanation for the birth of the cosmos is the Big Bang Theory. According to this theory, the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point around 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity contained all of the matter and energy that would eventually form stars, galaxies, planets, and everything else that makes up the cosmos.
The event itself wasn’t an explosion in the traditional sense but a rapid expansion of space itself. Immediately following the Big Bang, the universe began to expand exponentially, a process known as cosmic inflation. During this phase, the universe grew from smaller than the size of an atom to a vast, nearly infinite expanse in an instant. The rapid expansion allowed matter and energy to cool, leading to the formation of elementary particles such as quarks, electrons, and neutrinos. As the universe continued to expand and cool, quarks combined to form protons and neutrons, which eventually led to the creation of simple atomic nuclei like hydrogen and helium.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the universe cooled enough for electrons to combine with protons and form neutral hydrogen atoms. This allowed light to travel freely, marking the beginning of what is known as the "cosmic dark ages." During this time, the universe was nearly invisible to the human eye, as light was scattered by free electrons. Eventually, gravity began to take hold, pulling matter together to form the first stars and galaxies.

Medical Virology - Viruses and...

Ava Westwood

Virology is the branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of viruses, including their structure, classification, replication, pathogenesis, and interactions with hosts. Viruses are unique infectious agents that exist at the boundary between living and non-living entities. Unlike bacteria and other microorganisms, viruses cannot replicate independently; they rely entirely on host cells to reproduce. This dependency makes them significant in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and public health.
The significance of virology has expanded with the emergence of novel viral diseases, pandemics, and the continuous evolution of viral pathogens. From early discoveries of viral infections to the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies, virology has played a crucial role in advancing medical science. The study of viruses extends beyond human health, influencing veterinary medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. Understanding the fundamental principles of virology is essential for diagnosing, treating, and preventing viral diseases.
Historically, virology began with the discovery of infectious agents that were too small to be seen under a microscope. The first major breakthrough occurred in the late 19th century when Dmitri Ivanovsky and Martinus Beijerinck independently demonstrated that certain infectious agents, later identified as viruses, could pass through filters that trapped bacteria. This led to the realization that viruses were distinct from other microorganisms. The discovery of bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, further expanded the field and paved the way for molecular virology.

CPHQ Study Guide 2024-2025 -...

Shawn Blake

53% of CPHQ candidates fail the exam. Here’s what successful test-takers do differently. 
While mastering all the essential concepts and topics can certainly improve your chances of earning your certification, passing the CPHQ has less to do with what you know or even how you apply what you know… 
  
… and more to do with your overall approach to taking the exam itself. Because the chief difference between those who pass and those who fail comes down to the strategies they use to “beat” the CPHQ exam. 
  
That’s where this book can help. 
  
Inside, you’ll discover: 
  
●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam 
●     What to do if you don’t end up passing the CPHQ on your first try — and exactly how long this can end up delaying your certification 
●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
  
And much more! 
  
With the 2 full-length practice tests included, you’ll get to simulate the actual testing experience and spot opportunities to improve your score. 
  
So when the big day rolls around, you’ll be confidently armed with the knowledge, skills, and – more importantly – the strategies needed to pass the CPHQ.

Celestial Bodies - Galaxies...

Steff Jaywan

This book consists of 3 titles, which are the following: 
Galaxies - Galaxies are dynamic entities, constantly evolving through processes like mergers, collisions, and interactions with neighboring galaxies. When galaxies merge, their stars, gas, and dust can undergo dramatic transformations, leading to the formation of new stars and restructuring of the galaxy's shape. These interactions can trigger intense bursts of star formation and feed supermassive black holes at the galaxies' centers, leading to the emission of powerful jets of radiation. 
Meteors - Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are remnants of comets or asteroids that orbit the Sun. When these objects cross Earth's path, they enter the atmosphere at high speeds, often exceeding 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour). As they travel through the atmosphere, the air resistance causes them to heat up and vaporize, creating the bright streaks of light we observe. 
Stellar Evolution - Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution.
