"Solitude is not boring. Time alone is necessary to refresh our body, mind and spirit"
Garth Jestley

Boredom seems to be fading. With mobiles always at hand, we are constantly connected to news, entertainment and social media non-stop. This ability to easily absorb stimulation has left us with a hypersensitivity to empty time , which leads us to fill every moment with something to avoid the deep discomfort of boredom.

In this digital age, we equate boredom with the absence of activity or connection. But constant digital stimulation and lack of boredom are a double-edged sword. It makes us feel empty, and we need more and more, we live in a continuous "hyperstimulation".

A little boredom can lead to a healthier, happier, more productive and creative life, boredom is necessary.

2. Pauer Curiosity

Could fungi save the bees?

We are facing a mass extinction of insects . 75% of flying insects have disappeared in 20 years, due to humans, climate change, pesticides and viruses. This extinction may affect us more than it seems.

One of the most important insects in ecosystems and for our survival are bees. They are the * most important pollinator in the world * in food crops. It is estimated that * a third of the food we consume is obtained through pollination * mainly by bees. Foods such as almonds or blueberries depend almost exclusively on bees.

Despite their importance bees are disappearing. Apart from the impact of humans on bees, they have been shown to have a virus that decreases their life expectancy .

Recently, mycelium extracts of polypore mushrooms (Reishi and Amadou) have been shown to improve the immune system of bees. This research provides a possible solution to this crisis. Kits are being developed that contain the mushroom extract that along with water and sugar the bees will be able to take. We will basically medicate the bees. In the video you can see how it works.
