THE DRONE BEE: A LIFE OF ONE PURPOSE AND ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
Introduction All bees in a colony are the same. In reality, honeybees have different roles and each type of bee contributes to the colony’s survival in its own way. The drone bee is the male honeybee. His life is different from that of the worker bee and the queen because his main role is reproduction. […]
POTTER WASPS: THE MAKING OF A CLAY NEST AND THE LIFE OF THE LARVA
Introduction Potter wasps of the genus Eumenes are remarkable insects known for building small clay or mud chambers for their developing young. These chambers look like tiny ceramic pots and are carefully constructed by the female potter wasp. Each brood cell provides a protected place where an egg can hatch and develop. However, the female potter wasp does more than simply […]
Features of the Hadada Ibis (Bostrychia hagedash)
Introduction Western Honeybees (Apis mellifera) provide one of the most remarkable examples of coordinated behaviour in the natural world. Although an individual western honeybee has a relatively small nervous system, thousands of bees can collectively locate food, communicate its location, regulate the temperature of the colony, defend the hive, and maintain the conditions necessary for raising […]
Western Honeybee Communication, Hive Ventilation and Intelligent Design
Introduction Western Honeybees (Apis mellifera) provide one of the most remarkable examples of coordinated behaviour in the natural world. Although an individual western honeybee has a relatively small nervous system, thousands of bees can collectively locate food, communicate its location, regulate the temperature of the colony, defend the hive, and maintain the conditions necessary for raising […]
The Rewiring of the Senses: Neuroplasticity and Intelligent Design
Introduction The human nervous system is one of the most sophisticated systems in the body. The brain, which forms the central part of the nervous system, contains approximately 86 billion neurons, while the spinal cord provides crucial connections between the brain and different parts of the body. Together, these structures enable the body to process […]
Intelligent Design in plants
BCA recommend highly to watch the presentation Intelligent Design in Plants made by Emily and Daniel Reeves at the 2025 Dallas Conference on Science and Faith. Daniel Reeves presented the macro level of the photosynthesis and Emily Reeves dive into themicroscale of the synthesesis presenting us for an interesting guy called Rubisco. This is a […]
Science or Myth? Why Much of What We Teach About Evolution Is Wrong
By Jonathan Wells Icons of Evolution is a critical examination of some of the best-known examples traditionally used in biology textbooks to support Darwinian evolution. Jonathan Wells, who held a PhD in molecular and cell biology from the University of California, Berkeley, examines these familiar examples and asks a fundamental question: Do they actually demonstrate what textbooks […]
Walking Whales: A Critical Examination of the Fossil and Genetic Evidence
A summary of Jonathan Wells’ analysis in Zombie Science: More Icons of Evolution The evolution of whales from land-dwelling mammals is often presented as one of the strongest examples of a major evolutionary transition in the fossil record. A sequence of fossil organisms—including Pakicetus, Ambulocetus, Rodhocetus, and other forms—is commonly portrayed as documenting a gradual transformation from terrestrial […]
DEPARTMENTAL WORKSHOP ON INTELLIGENT DESIGN HELD, MAKERERE UNIVERSITY
The Department of Biochemistry and Systems Biology at the College of Natural Sciences, Makerere University, hosted an Intelligent Design (ID) departmental workshop on 14 May 2026, organized in collaboration with BioCosmos Africa (BCA) and BioCosmos Uganda (BCU). The three-hour workshop introduced participants to BioCosmos Africa and BioCosmos Uganda, the Theory of Intelligent Design, and methods for detecting design […]
