However, limitations ...
Only three Hawaiian producers meet US's organic honey standards; study suggests rule review
A new study found that organically managed bee colonies on farms in the northeastern US produced honey with pesticide residue levels comparable to certified organic honey. Researchers say current US organic certification rules may be stricter than necessary, but caution that more studies across different regions are needed before any nationwide policy changes.
Scientists claim the shrinking Pacific Ocean will lead to the formation of a new supercontinent 'Amasia'
The Pacific Ocean, which is the largest ocean on Earth, is gradually shrinking due to the convergence of tectonic plates. Subduction zones around its edges are consuming the ocean floor at a rate faster than new material is formed. Scientists estimate that in 200 to 300 million years, the Pacific could entirely close up, pulling continents together to create a new supercontinent.
Scientists survey Mount Ararat glacier to recover its first ice core
A German-Turkish research team has completed the first scientific survey of the glacier on Mount Ararat, Turkey's highest peak, to study its potential as a record of climate and human history.
