If you think this is dumb, though, the guy in the video held the open box IN THE CAR ON HIS LAP to relocate the bees. Wonder if the fire truck in the background followed them waiting for the fiery crash. Embedded media -- click here to see it. Full story at YouTube via Neatorama. Dangerous DIY.

With virtual slides, check out tissue in 3-D Posted about 20 hours ago by Futurity to Holy Kaw! 1 Using “virtual” microscope slides, computing experts and medical researchers have developed a fast, easy-to-use way of studying tissue samples in 3-D. Embedded media -- click here to see it. "Having a 3-D view can often make a real difference," says University of Leeds developer Derek Magee.

The "Construction Overhead" hat from Sara Grundy of Sorensen Grundy Milliners reveals the challenging labor of a miniature work force that goes into constructing an eye catching hat. "Model millinery involves a hat being completely hand made and often there is a huge amount of hand sewing involved," Grundy explained. "Because it's such hard work and takes such a long time we have often daydreamed about having the help of a miniature workforce or leaving something half finished that get's magically completed overnight. We trained together in a millinery workroom making hats for Paris and London fashion shows and know what it feels like to be working away behind the scenes and through the night. "We like to think that there is humor to our work and as well as wanting to make something that is amusing we also wanted to stretch the definitions of what millinery can be. 'Construction Overhead' is an imagined scenario, a hat capturing a moment in a fantasy narrative which hopefully offers more than just something to be worn on the head." Full story at MMM.
