๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ง Accidental lab floods led researchers to learn about a surprising survival tactic where hibernating #bumblebee queens stay #underwater for a week.

By dropping their metabolic rate and switching to anaerobic #energy production, these pollinators withstand #spring floods that would otherwise drown most #insects.

Bumblebee queens can survive underwater for an entire week. How they do it is incredible | Discover Wildlife

The bumblebees avoid drowning by combining underwater gas exchange with anaerobic metabolism, according to a new study.

๐Ÿฆ€๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ In the #ChesapeakeBay, the biggest threat to a young blue crab isn't a hungry #fish โ€“ it's another blue crab.

A long-term study explains that while these #crustaceans are notoriously cannibalistic, juveniles have a better chance of surviving if they stick to the ultra-shallow waters of coastal estuaries where bigger #crabs can't easily reach them.

Blue crabs have a serious cannibalism problem

But growing up can help these famed Chesapeake crustaceans.

GO DEEP TO FIND YOUR BLISS
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay
afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.
