California researchers

Scientists report discovering an amoeba living in a hot spring in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California, at a temperature of 63°C, the highest ever recorded for a complex organism. The finding, highlighted by ScienceAlert and circulating among science enthusiasts, pushes the known temperature limits of eukaryotic life and offers clues about how single-celled complex life can adapt to extreme volcanic environments.

Researchers in California have identified odors that repel honeybees from pesticide-treated areas, offering a possible way to protect pollinators from chemical exposure. The findings are being shared in science and agriculture circles as a hopeful step for bee conservation, with commenters highlighting the potential benefits for farming and insect populations.
