DCTheres a day for just about everything, and the United Nations has designated May 20 as World Bee Day to celebrate he pollinators (传粉昆虫) dwelling in hives, fields and gardens around the globe. It draws much concern on bees and theres a good reason to pay attention to them.“There are 20,000 species of bees around the world and a lot of these bees are in decline,” says Hien Ngo, a pollinator expert from the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization. That includes honeybees, of course, but Ngo says they only make up a minority of all the kinds of bees in the world. Climate change, pesticides and habitat loss are putting many of those species a risk.“Bees really provide for us in many ways. Theyre also important to our culture, dating back thousands of years in terms of heritage, inspiration of art,” Ngo says. They even provide inspiration for TikTok, where Erika Thompson, a professional beekeeper in Austin, Texas, shares her work.“The landlord wanted to call an exterminator (根除者), but the family who lived here wanted to save the bees, so they called me,” she says in come video.Her fans watch with happiness and sometimes a little horror as she picks up mounds (成堆) of bees with her bare hands and then moves them somewhere safer.“Ive removed bees from a lot of crazy places,” Thompson says. “You know, Ive removed bees from homes, RVs, tires, speakers and even a toilet”Thompsons work is about more than getting millions of views per video. “Bees are just a key factor in creating diverse and healthy ecosystems,” she notes.8What do you know about World Bee Day?A.

CDTherapy (治疗) dogs have long visited nursing homes and schools and even disaster sites, offering comfort to humans. A new study shows that a 10-minute visit from a therapy dog can help relieve patients pain in the emergency room.The research from the University of Saskatchewan, published in the journal PLOS on Wednesday, found that emergency room patients who were visited by a therapy dog reported less pain than those who werent.“Therapy dogs themselves are really friendly and are so excited to visit with people in places where they dont typically have a pot,” Dr. Colleen Dell, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and one of the study authors, told NPR.In a trial, researchers asked more than 200 patients to report their pain levels. One group of patients received a 10-minute visit from a therapy dog and the other group did not. After the visit, researchers asked patients in both groups to report their pain levels again. Those who spent 10 minutes with the dog reported less pain, the study found.Many patients have experienced positive outcome from therapy dogs, but this study clinically proves them, said Dell, herself a therapy dog handler.Stempien, an associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, has seen the dogs in action at the hospital where he works. Prior to the pandemic (大流行病), a therapy dog would visit multiple times a week. During visits, the dog would often make a stop in the nursing lounge (休息室) before visiting with patients.“I think it brought smiles om faces of almost all the staff they interacted with,” Stempien told NPR.But the people arent the only ones getting something out of this. “Therapy dogs love their job. They love to interact with people.” Dell said, “Though we need more research on his, we believe they also acquire something out of it as well as giving while visiting with people.”12.
