If you are a volunteer it is an opioid addiction. Family and friends come first though volunteering in an inner-city school and at the Smithsonian are a high knowing you contribute to others while connecting to those outside your bubble and sparking a few synopses that have sat in the rocking chair. I volunteer teach biological lab science for an NGO to 5th gr inner-city students, Help a paleo biologist write a journal report and prep his 20-Myear amber. I mentor two beekeepers, (beekeeper for 19 years) and run 1/2 hour to an hour 7 days a week. Total milage for the past 47 years adds up to circling this perky little planet 4 + times. I write with lots of changes while enjoying the struggle and learning. My immediate goal is to devise a foldscope protocol for collecting environmental data that can be done by my 5th graders.

I raise honeybees. Occasionally get stung. If you wonder what a stinger looks like
tip of honeybee stinger taken after removed from skin, barb not visible. Barbs keep the bee from leaving until the bee abdomen tears free. Muscles alternately move the two barbed stinger lancets further into the skin and compress the venom sack to push venom down the canal between the lancets. Bee venom cocktail of proteins and peptides sets off the histamine alarm. For more on why you react to the venom see Stanford University School of Medicine comments at URL:
