![]() ![]() When we think of bees, we usually picture honeybees, bumblebees, and maybe even carpenter bees. Read on to learn about the different types of sweat bees! This blog post explores the different types of sweat bees and provides information about their behavior, nesting habits, and more. ![]() Sweat bees can come in many colors, shapes, and sizes and can be important pollinators of flowers and crops. They are named for their attraction to sweat and often forage around humans. They are easy to get rid of by just planting some flowers or shrubs or cover the soil where the nest opening is with landscape fabric or mulch.Sweat bees, also known as halictid bees, are small, solitary bees that can be found worldwide, and there are different types of Sweat bees. If sweat bees are nesting in your garden and you do not want them, please do not spray pesticide. These bees have enlarged ocelli to see better in dim light or darkness. Halictidae is one of four families that contain bees that forage either at twilight (crepuscular species) or at night, being totally nocturnal. To avoid being stung, don’t get too close to their nests, don’t cast a dark shadow over their nest, and be aware that ground vibrations near their nests gets them agitated. Species in the genus Sphecodes are known for this behavior, and they can look like black wasps with blood-red abdomens.įemale sweat bees sting, and although the sting is minor if they are stopped quickly, they continue pumping venom into their victim until they are brushed away, so if one stings, remove it as soon as possible to minimize the damage. Some species of halictids are kleptoparasitic, which means they enter another bee’s nest, usually another halictid, devour the egg and replace it with their own egg. Like carpenter bees, they provision a batch of pollen and nectar as food for their young, place the egg on top and seal off the cell. They make their nests underground and feed their colonies and themselves with pollen and nectar. Flowers prefer dedicated pollinators so they know their pollen will be paired up with their own species, but it is probably better for the survival of the bees that they have a wide range of tastes. They seem to enjoy a wide range of flavors. These are generalists, happy to forage for nectar and pollen on any number of flowering plants. This 1:22-minute video by Nature in Motion shows a glorious green sweat bee as she forages: They even go so far as to create salt-producing alkaline soils to keep these bees happy. The alkali bee is used by commercial alfalfa seed growers to pollinate their crops. A few species are considered pollinators of economic importance, like alkali bees, lasioglossum vierecki bees, and lasioglossum leucozonium. Sweat bees are highly valued as pollinators. ![]() They have pollen baskets on their back legs, which they load up with pollen to carry back to the nest to feed their young. These solitary bees are not large, with adults usually in the range of 3-10 mm or up to 0.5 of an inch long. With so many species and colors, sweat bees can be hard to identify.Ī distinguishing feature of this bee family is that they have a strongly curved basal vein on their wings. Some of the most flamboyant bees of all are sweat bees with metallic neon shades of blue, red or green, like genus Agapostemon, and some have colorful bands of color. Most are brown and black and they can have yellow stripes or markings. There are close to 2,000 species of which about 1,000 species can be found in North and Central America. Halictidae is the second-biggest family of bees. They live in all countries around the world but tend to prefer a temperate climate. This small bee is called a sweat bee because it loves… sweat! The salt in perspiration attracts sweat bees. ![]()

Do not make posts intended to cause or provoke discussion about Kris’s gender or pronouns. We do not endorse in any way bigotry/transphobia and/or engaging in similar behaviors. The Knight is alternately referred to with "it" and "they" pronouns.Remain civil and use they/them in your discussions when talking about Kris.In Toby Fox's commentary on the Game Main Theme (Piano Sketch) scrapped Deltarune track, it is implied that the Knight is the main antagonist and final boss of Deltarune.It is currently unknown whether Kris is the Knight. Despite using the term "Roaring Knight", Queen was seemingly oblivious to the consequences of opening Dark Fountains, possibly indicating that it's one of the Knight's self-chosen names.Īt the end of Chapter 2, Kris is seen ripping out their SOUL and opening a new Dark Fountain in their home. Berdly attempts to make a fountain but is cut off by Ralsei, who then goes on to explain that the Dark Fountains, when gone unchecked, would eventually consume the Light World, turning all Darkners to stone and leaving Lightners alone in the dark. During the party's battle with Queen, she explains that any Lightner with enough Determination is able to open Dark Fountains, and she was planning on replacing the Knight's abilities with those of Noelle. Spamton, in his shop, makes the implication that the Knight is related to " ]," and starts to tell Kris something about them, but mysteriously cuts himself off. A video of this event plays in a room in Queen's Mansion, but there is too much smoke to identify the Knight. Chapter 2 Īn unknown time after the events of chapter 1, the Knight created another Dark Fountain, this time forming a new Dark World from the library. Further explanation to this line is provided by Queen in the next chapter. Jevil mentions that the " HAND OF THE KNIGHT IS DRIFTING FORWARD" after beating him via fighting. The Knight's whereabouts during Chapter 1 and the details of its encounter with King are unknown. Seam refers to the Knight as " strange knight," and King refers to them as " my KNIGHT" in the same way a subject might refer to their ruler as "my King," swearing not to let the Knight down. ![]() Instead, the party learns of it from stories primarily told by King and Seam. Chapter 1 ĭuring Chapter 1, the Knight never makes an appearance. While willing to fight to his death, King appears to have been misled by the Knight to believe that opening Dark Fountains would turn everything into a Dark World rather than cause the Roaring. The Knight then went on to create the Eastern Fountain. As a result, the King of Spades, now referred to simply as "King," became the absolute monarch over the kingdom. However, this all changed when the Knight took the King of Spades, who beared a strong hatred for Lightners after being abandoned and forgotten in the old class room, under its control and the three other Kings were locked away in Card Castle. Main Story History īefore the Knight appeared, the Card Kingdom was ruled by four kings. The Knight also doesn't seem to be above deception as they assumedly misled the King into believing that creating more Dark Worlds would make everything into a Dark World instead of causing the Roaring. However, it is probable that they have a desire to bring the Roaring or at least are aware of it Queen implies it used the title "Roaring Knight" while creating the Cyber World Dark Fountain. As the Knight has yet to make a physical appearance, their personality is largely unknown. ![]() ![]() The story is the same for Alan Wake 2 - It looks positively gorgeous and a little bit terrifying, but I'm actually in the middle of playing Alan Wake Remastered for the first time right now. I think Dragon's Dogma 2 looks amazing, but I haven't played Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen yet (it's installed on my Xbox for when I do get around to it), so I can't get too excited for this epic title heading to Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5. The next fantasy RPG from Capcom is official, and it showed off some tantalizing gameplay during the PlayStation Showcase. It's coming to Windows PC and PS5 at launch. Sword of the Sea sees you surfing through the sandy dunes atop a mysterious artifact, and it's one of the most beautiful trailers from the entire PlayStation Showcase. Giant Squid is back with another game dripping with style and majesty. Immediately enthralling world design and the existence of giant animals with which you can actually interact are all reasons to pay attention to Towers of Aghasba, an open-world civilization builder that's coming to Windows PC and PS5 in the summer of 2024. ULTROS looks stunning, and it's also coming to Windows PC, PS5, and PS4 at launch in 2024. ![]() Gameplay-wise, I wasn't terribly excited by what ULTROS displayed in its announcement trailer, but I can't get enough of its art design, which employs a wide range of vivid, saturated colors. The trailer immediately attracted my attention with its incredible art style and the inclusion of a cute cat, but it's only coming to Windows PC, PS5, and PS4 at launch. This is the latest game from the developer of Night in the Woods, another award-winning indie game that I haven't played yet (but is 100% already on my Xbox Wishlist). Here are six honorable mentions - four more indie games that aren't coming to Xbox, and two multiplatform AAA games that I'm simply not ready to play, yet. The above games may have carried the PlayStation Showcase for me, but that doesn't mean they were the only games I found interesting. Thus, players have time to learn more about the gameplay, story, characters and world before launch day.Revenant Hill almost made the above list four games long, but I need to play Night in the Woods (and I want to play this on Xbox). While details on the release date are still unknown, gameplay footage and trailers for the game are available, with more gameplay details likely coming soon.

Developed by 2023 While it is not currently known whether the game will launch on all these consoles at the same time, it's likely that it will hit each of these platforms by the end of 2023. The game will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Consoles, PS4, and PS5. As of yet, no specific time of year or date has been revealed, but players should be expecting more information regarding the specifics of the date to be announced within the next few months. ![]() The Plucky Squire Release DateĪccording to the game's official Steam page, The Plucky Squire is currently set for release some time in 2023. Players who are excited for the game may be wondering what the release date is set to be. The player will get to try their hand at both 2D and 3D platforming as they explore the charming world. ![]() ![]() The Plucky Squire is an upcoming action-adventure puzzle platformer in which the player plays as storybook characters who discover the world outside their pages. Devolver Digital revealed the first release date information for The Plucky Squire during its games showcase earlier this week. ![]() ![]() Sometimes these deceptions lead to actual theft, it is true, but most often they do not. Reynard was drawn to the worship of Mask not just because of their love of secrecy and deception, but also because they are a natural born trickster, taking great joy in simple pranks and elaborate cons. ![]() They take speaking the truth to another to be akin to entrusting their riches or even their life with that person. When Reynard does speak truly - and they do, to those people they respect - it means much. Honesty and truth are the most valuable commodities, so to give them away for free is not only foolish, but impious. Yet Reynard does not wish to reveal all of these facets, as they are true to their god, Mask, and sees deception and misdirection as a holy act. There are so many aspects to their personality that it takes years to allow each their chance to shine and sparkle. PersonalityReynard views themselves as a multifaceted jewel. Either way, they speak with an odd gravelly sound, halfway between a growl and a laugh. ![]() Their voice is somewhere between a woman's alto and a man's tenor. The other teeth look healthy, though, suggesting the teeth were lost through violence rather than decay.Īround each of their eyes they wear an oval of black greasepaint makeup, loosely resembling an eye mask. They usually have a crooked smile, displaying a grin with several missing teeth. The other slashes horizontally from their left nostril across their cheekbone. One runs from under their right eye, curving down beneath their right ear. ![]() Those few who have seen Reynard's mask off see a youngish person, filthy but with fairly smooth skin, save for two nasty scars. Whatever the color, their hair has the consistency of straw - straight, thick, and unkempt. They color their hair as well, with it fluctuating from red to brown to black in any given week, though they tend to avoid lighter tones. They are fairly slight in build, maybe 5'8", but it is hard to say, given that they sometimes wear boots that add a few inches, bringing them closer to 6' and, at other times, they walk with a distinct slouch that makes them appear shorter. Reynard goes to great lengths to hide their true appearance, wearing masks wherever and whenever possible. ![]() ![]() What you’ll need to install the Trello as a Sidebar Firefox extension Let me show you how to install this Firefox extension and how to use it, but with one warning: Trello as a Sidebar is not actively monitored by Mozilla, so the security of the extension cannot be guaranteed.

After giving thanks to God for the Corinthians and their sure place with Him in eternity, Paul addresses the way they have divided themselves into factions based on which Christian teacher they follow. Isaiah 32:6 says, "The fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the L ORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink. First Corinthians 1:1017 is about Christian unity. This confirms that what I told you about Christ is true. A ruler who deals is lies is worse than a fool-because his foolishness harms those over whom he has power. Through him, God has enriched your church in every waywith all of your eloquent words and all of your knowledge. It's beneath the dignity of such a position to be deceptive or dishonest. In fact, lies from those in authority are even less appropriate than arrogant speech from foolish people. Now it is especially necessary for the man who is bound to speak wisely, even though he cannot speak eloquently, to retain in memory the words of Scripture. Solomon reiterates the idea of words that don't "fit" by speaking of rulers who tell lies (Proverbs 17:7). Through him, God has enriched your church in every waywith all of your eloquent words and all of your knowledge. Of course, many fools do exactly that-but their words don't "fit" with who they really are (Proverbs 26:1). NIV Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool- how much worse lying lips to a ruler NASB Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince. The person who lacks spiritual wisdom (Proverbs 1:7) has no business speaking as if he has it (Proverbs 16:18 21:24). Proverbs 17:7 ESV Fine speech is not becoming to a fool still less is false speech to a prince. David encountered a man referred to by the name Nabal, who was arrogantly ignorant and over-sure of his own importance (1 Samuel 25:1–13). Every time I think of youand I think of you oftenI thank God for your lives of free and open access to God, given by Jesus. ![]() This is ill suited for a nābāl: a particular kind of "fool" (Proverbs 17:21 30:22 1 Samuel 25:3).

Plug Power’s dozen small contracts with big companies, will turn into big contracts with big companies, and revenues, margins and profits will soar higher.
