There is no queen and no hive behind Xylocopa caerulea: each female excavates her own wood tunnel, packs it with bee bread of pollen and nectar, lays an egg on the store and seals the cell before starting the next

In 2022, a 17-year-old built a $300 thought-controlled prosthetic arm; unlike very expensive and invasive brain-controlled systems, his version reads brainwaves through non-invasive electrodes
