Two beehives believed to be at least 80 years old were rehomed after they were discovered in Old Main at the University of Colorado Boulder in August.Miles McGaughey, owner of Mountain Warrior Honey in Longmont, said the hives are “ancient.” McGaughey is a beekeeper and specializes in extracting large beehives from historic buildings, supporting the bees recovery and eventually rehoming them to a permanent location.“It’s an estimation, but after seeing lots of different combs after different ages, it was at least 80 or maybe older,” he said, later adding, “Anytime you deal with older structures, the chances are they’ve had bees in them for quite some time.”One of two hives that were found at Old Main at CU Boulder during an initial inspection of the building (Courtesy Photo / CU Boulder)McGaughey said he can tell how old a beehive is based on the colors of its layers.

Southern California beachgoers are very familiar with rip currents, which can sweep unprepared swimmers out to sea in an instant.This powerful -and sometimes deadly- force of nature was captured on video in New Jersey over Labor Day Weekend when a bodyboarder jumped into action to save a man who was struggling to get back to shore.The incident happened on Sunday, Sept. 3 at Long Island Beach.Footage recorded by Steve Houser shows him paddling out to a man who, along with several other people, was being pulled into deeper water by a fast-moving rip current.With the help of another swimmer, the man grabs onto the bodyboard. Houser then pulls him through the heavy surf and safely back into shallow water, the video shows.Steve Houser pulls the struggling swimmer back to shore at Long Island Beach, New Jersey on Sept. 3, 2023.

(The Hill) – Record-breaking late-summer heat is forcing multiple school districts to shut down their buildings early in the academic year.The National Weather Service said Tuesday a heat wave would "persist in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast through Thursday and linger all week in Texas and neighboring states."More than 61 million people are now living under heat advisories, causing mass disruption in school systems across the country. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey and Missouri have all had K-12 classes disrupted this week over the heat. Three public school systems in Western Massachusetts closed early on Wednesday and canceled classes for Thursday afternoon due to the heat. “These temperatures make teaching and learning especially difficult in the majority of our buildings that are not air conditioned. For that reason, Westfield Public Schools staff and students will be dismissed early the next two da...Lakers president Jeanie Buss and comedian Jay Mohr marry

A lot of bands are redefining what “hardcore” music means in 2023, and the Santa Cruz, California quartet known as Scowl are one of the most expressive. Refreshingly all over the place, going from speedy guttural punk to witchy alternative rock, Kat Moss (vocals), Malachi Greene (guitar), Bailey Lupo (bass), Cole Gilbert (drums), and Mikey Bifolco (guitar) built a following with the aggressive grinds on their debut album, How Flowers Grow in late 2021, and a relentless touring schedule getting it out there. Road life and experiences inspired a lot on their latest EP Psychic Dance Routine, and saw the band evolve as their sound and live show got attention.With bright green hair and a vocal that easily goes from evil grunt to sultry wail, Moss is a marvel to watch on stage, as many of us first did at this year’s Coachella, both in the desert and on the fest’s You Tube Livestream. The band’s partnership with Taco Bell’s ‘Feed The Beat’ program (which provides touring bands ...Flash mob summer: How can retail theft stampedes be stopped?

When brazen groups of thieves in all-black clothes and hoodies sprinted into the Nordstrom at the Topanga Mall, the Yves Saint Laurent store at the Americana on Brand in Glendale and a pop-up Gucci store at South Coast Plaza, 911 calls from startled workers and shoppers came immediately.It wasn’t soon enough.Stealth planning, disguises, sheer ransacking speed – the thieves are in and out in two to four minutes – and getaways in multiple cars mean even a rapid law enforcement response can be too slow.With flash mobs of thieves committing dozens of heists in high-end and other stores around Southern California since early July, the problem became so dire that officials announced a task force focusing on cell tower dumps, surveillance video and other high-tech tools.Arrests are starting to happen. But halting the trend may take more time.“A lot of this stuff happens over social media and that’s how they coordinate with one another.
