Ciudad Perdida, Colombia.- Accidentally discovered in 1975 by looters, Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City) is home to the indigenous Kogi, descendants of the Tayrona civilization who inhabited the region from 200-1650AD, predating Machu Picchu by 650 years. Among the 250 Tayrona towns, Ciudad Perdida is the largest and most impressive, suggesting that it may have been the social, political and economic centre. More than 200 structures were uncovered across 30 hectares, including a hand-made beaded terrace.

Bees on their knees
Just a few days back Europe banned the use of bee harming pesticides. The diminishing bee populations have provoked this decisive action . Bees from Tasmania, Australia are being exported by the container load to places like California where they are used to pollinate the fruit and nut plantations, due to the local bee colonies being lost to the parasitic mite Varroa destructor. Apart from Australia, this has become a global phenomena. There is also the little-understood phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder (or CCD) where worker bees from a beehive or honey bee colony abruptly disappear. The imported bees don’t hang around the orchards for long after pollinating. In beespeak this can be translated to “lets get the hell out of here “
Remedial programmes are being initiated to modify the use of pesticides and herbicides to try and regain some balance. Lets hope it not too little too late. Apparently some feral bee populations are now recovering—it appears they have been naturally selected for Varroa resistance. During the recent summer in Australia, which had record breaking heat , honey production fell dramatically because the native flowers withered. Bees were having such a lousy time on the pollen trail that the bee keepers stopped taking honey from the hives. It was only the gardens in and near the cities that helped the honey production. Lets hope that popular expression ” the birds and the bees ” will not have to be modified to something like, ” ok son, I want to tell about the birds and the beetles “.
