World's Biggest Bee Found

https://www.enn.com/articles/56852-world-s-biggest-bee-found

A team of scientists have discovered what they believe to be the world's largest bee called Wallace's giant bee. The bee is known as the Megachile pluto has a wingspan larger than six centimeters. Even though the bee has this massive size, it has been lost since 1981. The team of scientists went out to search for the bee and photograph it. They were able to find it in North Moluccas which is an island group in Indonesia. This species of bee is very rare. A member of the team Honorary Professor Simon Robson stated, "Amid such a well-documented global decline in insect diversity it’s wonderful to discover that this iconic species is still hanging on.”

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
