The secret's out of the hive. A long-researched and previously elusive chemical in bees that makes them stay around the hive instead of venturing into the outside world was recently discovered. Zachary Huang, an associate professor in the Department of Entomology, published research 12 years ago that said some bees stay in the hive and others go out to collect nectar and defend the hive, but Huang never knew why. His discovery of what's called the primer pheromone in bees explains the behavior.

Winter temperatures are expected to be fairly typical, but snowfall is projected to be lighter this season, local and national meteorologists said.

As a white, heterosexual woman, Jennifer Parks said she is not the typical image of an AIDS patient, but the 50-year-old Holt resident has been battling the disease since 1989. "It took me a long time to sort all of this out and understand I didn't get AIDS because I deserved it, but because I didn't take precautions as a young woman," Parks said. Parks was infected by her second husband who participated in risky activities that were unknown to her, she said. She now speaks at community events, such as today's World AIDS Day observance at the Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road, to educate the public about the causes and effects of AIDS. In 2003, about 3 million people died from AIDS or complications from the illness.
