#April28
The white nuc yesterday. It seems to have guard bees on duty so maybe they like the queen I put in there. I see a few other bees coming and going but the activity is less than the green nuc. This one only had 2 frames of bees, brood, food, and queen cells when split but I put an emerged queen into the hive the next day.

The bees at the green nuc yesterday. This is the one that has 3 frames of bees, brood, food, and queen cells. I've seen foragers coming in with pollen so I guess some didn't decide to go back to their old hive. I might have observed a little bit of robbing going on too but it's hard to tell if the bees fly off into the yonder or turn directly into one of the hives next to it.

Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer
The Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) is a scientific instrument for infrared astronomy, installed on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), operating from 1997 to 1999, and from 2002 to 2008. Images produced by NICMOS contain data from the near-infrared part of the light spectrum.
NICMOS was conceived and designed by the NICMOS Instrument Definition Team centered at Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, USA. NICMOS is an imager and multi-object spectrometer built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. that allows the HST to observe infrared light, with wavelengths between 0.8 and 2.4 micrometers, providing imaging and slitless spectrophotometric capabilities. NICMOS contains three near-infrared detectors in three optical channels providing high (~ 0.1 arcsecond) resolution, coronagraphic and polarimetric imaging, and slitless spectroscopy in 11-, 19-, and 52-arcsecond square fields of view. Each optical channel contains a 256×256 pixel photodiode array of mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors bonded to a sapphire substrate, read out in four independent 128×128 quadrants.
NICMOS last worked in 2008, and has been largely replaced by the infrared channel of Wide Field Camera 3 after its installation in 2009.

On #April28, an elephant that traveled all the way from Vietnam was presented to the Emperor of Japan.
It's amazing to think that elephant care techniques were introduced to Japan about 300 years ago!

Harper is still a conniving jerk, i see.
“I worked closely with the late and great Jim Flaherty during the financial crisis,” Mr. Carney said on Tuesday. “I note that Pierre Poilievre was not at any of those tables, was not given any of that responsibility, and note further that in subsequent years, he has not gained any responsibility in managing crises or difficult situations.”

The first FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium took place on this date in 1923. Before the game started, the huge crowd spilled out on to the pitch, but a single policeman on a white horse managed to get the crowd off the playing area. Bolton Wanderers won 2-1 against West Ham in front of a crowd of 126,000 people and another 75,000 who'd scaled the walls.
