Chocolate
Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this
article we'll enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand
exactly what you're eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree
grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America,
Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a
small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known as cocoa
beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun
and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting
the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have
different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted
and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are
winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell.
Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid.
The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some
amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half
fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate.

People have always
been interested in bees. This interest may have begun with the honey bees make.
In fact, archeologists have found evidence that people have been eating honey
for many thousands years. In the more recent past, people were interested in the
way bees made honey. They admired the way bees seemed to work so hard. Some
languages even developed expressions about people working like bees. In
English, for example, we talk about a “busy bees”. Now scientists have a new
reason to be interested in bees. They have discovered that bees are able to
communicate with each other. Research has revealed some surprising facts about
this, but there are still many mysteries.
Communication is also
possible among bees through their sense of smell. A group of bees, called a
colony, uses smell to protect itself from other bees. This is possible because
all the bees in a colony have a common smell. This smell acts like a chemical
signal. It warns the group of bees when a bee from a different colony is near.
This way, bees from outside can not enter and disturb a hive (the bee colony’s
home). If outsiders try to enter, the bees of that colony will smell it and
attack it.

Sometimes these hands seem so graceful
I can see them signin' autographs
What I want to know from you
When you hear my plea
Do you like or love
Either or both of me
Do you like or love

When you hear my plea
Do you like or love
Either or both of me

Sometimes this face looks so funny
That I hide it behind a book
But sometimes this face has so much class
That I have to sneak a second look
That I hide it behind a book
But sometimes this face has so much class
That I have to sneak a second look
Sometimes this life gets so empty
That I become afraid
Then I remember you're in it
And I think I might still have it made
That I become afraid
Then I remember you're in it
And I think I might still have it made
