"We have had several test-spread but very little adaptation.'ve Deployed hundreds of teams but not yet showing signs of life," he said.

Distribution tests have been conducted since 2005 by planting 20 bar and 427 bar in 2008 but not yet shown results.

BKSDA 5000 target stem the spread of new orchid seeding results of Forest Ecosystem Control (Peh), but the program is running slow due to multiply these plants is very difficult.

Although the results of captive Orchid many rare flowers but the seeds so that officers trouble getting the orchid seedlings.

This orchid has a shape and a distinctive color and freshness of the flowers have a long enough reach the 22 days.

Pachypodium Ornamental Plants

Ancient Pachypodium is a Rare Plant. Ornamental plants this one actually Pachypodium been popular in Indonesia around the beginning of the era of the 1990s.

Time is an ancient plant remains to survive and lasting until now has been able to attract the interest researchers and collectors of rare plants since the late 18th century.

New species of plants kept Pachypodium born, being able to evolve that occurs in these plants continue to bear a new hybrid species, not only in their natural habitat (Madagascar), but also the entire continent where this plant can grow and evolve. It is said that there are hundreds of species of plants that have not been able Pachypodium identified and classified.

Meanwhile only around 25 species are widely known in the world. In Indonesia, new to this crop in the era of the 1990s, the cultivated species is still limited (approximately less than 15 species that can be found in Indonesia) because of the suitability requirements grow or hindered the problem of protection imposed by country of origin (Madagascar), or other countries in Africa there so plant species of Pachypodium Although very interesting ornamental plant lovers in Indonesia because of the thorny cols and leaf shapes and beautiful flowers.

Beauty Flower Eidelweis

Eidelweis flowers are plants that are common in mountainous regions. He can only grow in the highlands. Edelweis a Latin name, which is Anaphalis javanica. This plant can be reached a height of 8 m and has a trunk of the human foot.Currently, the plant has become rare plants eidelweis because he was often picked or taken by mountain climbers who are interested in the beauty of flowers. Eidelweis interest rate is also called eternal because after picking a withered. Eidelweis not eidelweis pioneer plant for young volcanic soil in the mountains and forests can maintain the continuity of life in a Barren Land, being able to form arbuscular with certain soil fungi that effectively extend the area reached by The Roots and increase efficiency in the search for Nutrients. The flowers are favored by insects, more than 300 kinds of insects such as fleas, tirip, butterflies, flies, wasps and bees seen visiting. If this plant branches allowed to grow strong enough, can be edelweis nesting place for birds Javan Whistling Thrush (Myophonus glaucinus).

Edelweis parts are often picked and brought down from the mountain for aesthetic reasons and spiritual, or just a memento by the climbers. In February until October 1988, there were 636 recorded trunk has been taken from Mount Gede-Pangrango. Within certain limits, and all just small pieces that are picked, this pressure can be faced. Unfortunately greed and the expectations that one has sacrificed many populations, especially populations located on the paths.

Research has been done shows that edelweis can be propagated easily by cutting the branches. Therefore, the pieces may be sold to visitors to reduce the interest rate decision eidelweis found in the mountains.

Bees are animals the System Has Almost Just Like Humans

One of the jobs / jobs in the world of the bee is "guide", then what does? How do bees find flowers feed search on such a vast area compared to their body size? How do they find their way back to the nest without getting lost?

How do they tell other bees about the direction of interest? When we try to answer various questions, we will arrive at a truly amazing fact.

As already found the source of interest, then the next task of this guide is the bees returned to the nest and tell other bees about the location where he found a collection of flowers such. Then, he would let the other bees that tasted a little nectar from flowers he had collected to inform them about the quality of the nectar.

Then, the main task is to explain the direction toward the source of interest. He did this with a very unique way, namely by dancing. Guide bee began to dance in the middle of the nest with her body shaking. Hard to believe, but movements in this dance to other bees information about the location of the source of interest.

For example, if a straight line dancing at the top of the nest, then the appropriate food source leads to the sun. If the interest is in the opposite direction, the bees will make a line in that direction. If the bees dance to the right, then this indicates that the source of interest is directly ninety degrees to the right.

But there is one question, explain the direction of the bees on the position of the sun, when the position of the sun is constantly changing. Every four minutes the sun moved one degree to the west, the factors that may be supposed bees ignored in this determination.

However, observations show that these bees also take into account the movement of the sun. When the bee guides tell the location of interest, in every four minutes, they let the angle is also increased by one degree to the west. Thanks to the calculation of this incredible, the bee is never lost.

Bee guide not only shows the direction of interest, but also the distance to the venue. Old time dances and the amount of vibration to give directions to other bees about this distance accurately. They brought supplies of food juices are just enough for this distance, and then begin the journey.

Remarkable behavior of the bees have been tested in a study in California. In this study, three containers of sugar water placed in three different places. A moment later, the bees guide to find the food source.

Bees come to guide the first container is marked points; who came second container is marked with lines, and who came third container marked with a cross. A few minutes later, the bees in the nest was watched carefully this guide the bees.

The scientists then gave the dot in the bees that guides bees observed marked point, and so, they also provide other bees the same sign to that of the bees they observe guide. A few minutes later, the bees come to the point marked the first container, which arrived at the line marked the second container and marked with a cross in the third container.

Thus, it is evident that the bees in the hive to find the direction on the basis of information previously been submitted by bees guide. Great system of organization and perfect!
