Cut Flower Research Center

This place is visible from A-3. When we visited, I was pretty vandalized but still retained its charm. Today, it is full of graffiti, have been ceilings, sanitation and so iron gate entry! . The weather, coupled with a quarry which have enabled the side, imagine that for works of the AVE, have done real damage to him.

Here are some pictures from when even half worth a visit.

What would be the laboratories.


The chamber in which cold be stored in hundreds of buds and cuttings.

The site is devoted to research on the preservation of cut flowers, in addition to market a rose garden. Pictured are several bags with labels for these plants

once grafted

Even kept the cuttings or patterns (usually rose canine) which are placed stratified into these "tubs" and on which are grafted buds of roses desired

The place had a pool of water itself

Since the ship was some traces of greenhouses and today still retains Washingtonias plantation worth a fortune because the floors are like good wine, become more expensive over the years (How quickly take them away?).

The site had at the top offices and a kind of housing.

A place of business in his days as an engineer and future agricultural biotechnology, I would love to visit and know that in the experiments were done.

I hope at least they have found interesting. To another.

The River Spa Village Juanes abandoned Loriguilla

Today I met wanted to publish a visit we made to an abandoned resort near Buñol (Valencia).

As its name suggests, this former coaching inn / resort is near the river Juanes. At this point comes a spring that was used by site owners to offer the medicinal virtues of its waters. Today it has taken a bath facility as a trough to collect the water.

Our scout dog a bath is hit

Although the site is completely in ruins, still retains elements curious as a wooden wheel. I imagine it would be to collect and convey water to the plant.

In fact, a referral to the local swimming pool gives me to understand that it was filled mineral water taken directly from the source. Do you imagine a similar dip in pool of healing waters?

Well, finally some pictures of the building. Here a bed

Here some photos of the exteriors





And some of the river and its environment



Here you can see the bridge crossing the river and it passes the road that leads to Buñol.

With this successful tour, our partner and invites us to go home and be so download and enjoy pictures taken.

I hope you liked it. In another hole that kick, I hope to post photos of the place where the river passes by Juanes and where it goes untapped waters of this spring: the cave of pigeons. An idyllic place where ancient prehistoric inhabitants had a private pool and no doubt knew its medicinal use.

THE HONEY BEE

The European bee, also known as the honeybee and honey bears the scientific name Apis mellifera. It's more bee species distribution in the world. Originally from Europe, Africa and parts of Asia, was introduced in America and Oceania. Was classified by Carolus Linnaeus in 1758. Since then, many taxonomists describe geographic varieties or subspecies which currently exceed the 30 races. APIS

When a beekeeper hives referred to collectively do so from an intuitive concept of community, to discuss the components of an apiary, logically speaking knowledge of the biology of bees, whose social nature makes the individual in itself, no value for the community of bees. Therefore it is said that the hive is a superorganism. This behaves super-synergy, which is the effect produced by the interaction between the components of a system that makes the whole is greater than the sum of individual parts.

bees are eusocial insects social with three different types of individuals or castes in the colony:
1) Queen Bee.
2) bees.
3) Bee drone.
Each breed has its special role and develop a distinct type of work in the colony. The queen and the workers are female and the drones are males. Each caste has a development cycle time or different for each species itself and raised in different types of cells.



Queen Bee Honey bees are very interesting in many respects, survive and be perpetuated as a unit we call the colony. The queen bee depending on weather conditions usually begin to lay eggs in spring. This activity is conditioned by information received from outside (ie flow of nectar, pollen collection, day length, temperature, etc.).. The queen is the only fertile female lays eggs from which the other bees will be born. The queen bee does not leave the hive, except during the mating flight, or when a swarm to lead a new colony. The queen lays her eggs in wax combs that workers constructed with hexagonal cells. The egg after the third day into a small larva which is fed by nurse bees (young bees). After about a week (depending on species), the larva is sealed in his cell by nurse bees, producing the nymph or pupa stage. In about another week (again depending on the species), the nymph emerges as an adult bee.

Queens are not raised in typical horizontal honeycomb cells, but their cells are constructed to be larger and more upright. Moreover, they are fed pollen and larvae of the workers, but with royal jelly. It has been shown that this special power that makes a female to develop as a queen and not working. When the queen finishes her larval feeding stage and becomes a pupa, moves to a head down position, from which then eats his cell to exit. During pupal stage, the bees seal the cell pop or real. Just after emerging from their cells, often the queen bees produce a sound which creates a challenge to other queens for battle. Queen bees live an average of three years. The workers live much shorter periods, less than three months on average. The queen bees release pheromones to regulate the activities of the hive. Pheromones of the queen, among other things, modify the behavior of the workers so that they feed new larvae and queens rather than workers under normal conditions. Many bees also produce pheromones to communicate with others and other bees. Workers



Bees workers are females infertile. They secrete the wax used to build the combs and are also responsible to clean and maintain the hive, raising the larvae, monitor the nest and collect nectar and pollen. In

stinging bees, worker bees have a stinger-shaped container which can drive an enemy to defend themselves, but the bees die soon after nailing its sting, because it has a steely, so you can not remove, as part of the digestive system is attached to it.

Worker bees suck nectar from flowers, which is the energy food, and pollen, which they get protein, fat and minerals necessary for the survival of the inhabitants of the colony.



Drones Drones are male bees of the colony. Then produce eggs that drones have not previously been fertilized, so they have half the genetic makeup of the species. Drones do not collect nectar and pollen. The main purpose of the drones is to fertilize a new queen. These mate with the queen in flight. After completing the intercourse, the drone dies. The queen bee mates with several drones (over 15) in several flights of fertilization. Drones have no stinger and the stinger is actually a modified ovipositor.

Food

Both workers and the queen bee is fed royal jelly during the first three days of the larval stage. Then the workers change from a diet of pollen and nectar or diluted honey, while those larvae chosen to be queen bees continue to receive royal jelly. This causes the larva becomes a pupa faster it will increase its size and sexual development. The queen breeders consider good nutrition during the larval stage is of crucial importance for the quality of the queens raised, other important factors being good genetics and a sufficient number of matings. Communication



bees Bees have a communication system itself, known as the bee dance. Researchers worked for many years trying to decipher the language of these insects. Different species have adaptations own language, but are similar. In 1973 Karl R. von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz and Nikolaas Tinbergen won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine after decoding as through dance, vibrational motions, the bees indicated the distance and orientation to the sun of the food source.

should remember the wisdom contained in something that Albert Einstein once said: "If the bees began to disappear, humanity it would be a few years of life. "It is disturbing that in the world are becoming empty hives and bees are gradually disappearing, and being that 80% of plant species have flowers that depend on bees for pollinated. Without bees there would be no fruits or vegetables.

Small bees are an essential link in the chain of life that would be broken without them. One of the vital functions of the bees are in their active participation in the regeneration process the living world of plants. This huge cyclical work for plant life and human societies appear to be threatened today. In the last year has been a mass death of bees that is ruining much of the beekeeping industry. In Spain they have gone over 600 thousand hives in the United States over a million and a half of colonies have been empty, in Germany there are 25% less in France thousand hives and beekeepers are forced to leave the profession each year because of this crisis.

scientists are lost in conjectures on the causes of what they call "the syndrome of colony collapse." It is clear that the role of insecticides has been an important factor. Another possibility considered by some GM crops are corn genetically incorporated the function of a natural insecticide just the bees carry pollen to their hives. Until it has been scientifically hypothesized loss of bees to electromagnetic waves of mobile telephony. Obviously, chemical-intensive monoculture (as Valencian citrus hybrids veto the presence of colonies), changing the landscape with the disappearance of meadows and massive developments have been variable in reducing the habitat of the bees. Even according to some voices, the same chemical-intensive beekeeping few varieties of honey bees has caused increased vulnerability to pests and reduced the diversity of wild bees, weakening ecosystems in general.

The lack of honey production in Europe has increased dependence on imported honey, especially from China. In recent years there have been numerous health warnings from the European Commission to the recurrent presence of high levels of antibiotics and pesticides banned in batches of imported Chinese honey. Needless to say, we must demand the same health standards for products outside that compel our beekeepers.

we be facing a serious threat of a sad "Silent Spring", as Rachel Carson pointed out 40 years ago, only this time it would be without the buzzing of bees and a serious decline in plant diversity with environmental and economic consequences incalculable . This crisis calls an institutional response and strong scientific and coordinate at all levels.
