Eye regionalization and spectral tuning of retinal pigments in insects
Article Abstract:
Theeyes of drone honeybees are made up of 10,000 ommatidia, each with nine visual sense cells. The dorsal area of the drone's eyes causes red light to stray dorsally, creating a photosteady state with high rhodopsin content, a conditionwhich results in high receptor sensitivity. Drones take advantage of such highly developed optical mechanisms to obtain spacial acuity and sensitivity within the ultraviolet to blue wavelength range, an ability that enables them to locate the queen during its nuptial flights.

Reincarnation not only embraces the concept of a new young body on earth after death, but also the notion that the earth itself will die and be reborn. Thus if man destroys nature in the future, this will not change the belief of Buddhists. People today are being changed to think more of peace.
