The manuka tree, where the honey comes from, is pretty special it has anti septic qualities, you can use leaves as a tea, it makes very good firewood, it is a fairly hard wood so if you need to donk something manuka is your tree. If there's a Aotearoa tree of the year competition I'll vote manuka. Also my favourite honey by far, like clover go home!
A gentle pronunciation correction: Manukora isn't "ma" like in "man" it's "mah" like in "taco". Basically both 'A's in Manukora make the same sound and it's aaah
So there’s a cool story involving manuka honey. Anyone hear about Casper, the Great Pyrenees that took on a pack of eleven coyotes to protect his flock of sheep and managed to kill eight of them? Well, he was pretty torn up after the battle, and a patch of skin was missing that they couldn’t just stretch other skin across. The vets used manuka honey to keep the wound from getting infected while new skin grew under the sterile dressing. It’s that good!
@@haaather7131 1. It only makes it cooler 2. So do we in many cases. Many ice age tents were made of mammoth tusks and ribs, held together by sinew, covered with animal skin. Modern primitive equivalents exist. Or think Inuit kayaks. Bows also made from animal materials so even weapon is made from prey. How is it different?
@@aj.j5833 now that you mention it that's also true. Not to mention furnitures, even MDF and related boards are wooden. And we burn millions of year old animal and plant carcass juice all over the place. Not to mention how British people used to fuel their steam trains with and made brown paper bags out of Egyptian mummies... Although they didn't killed them, I'm pretty sure they would have if they could have.
I would love you guys to do a dedicated video on dinoflagellates - especially the ones that glow! It will be awesome for you to discuss their predator-prey dynamic that most likely made them glow!
Honestly I feel like I could look at pictures of these shelled amoeba for hours. They're kinda like fractals, just so mesmerizing in the patterns and shapes. And especially with James doing SUCH a lovely job with the way he uses light and filters. They look like tiny works of art!
Unironically saying this and no I'm not a bot, lol. I am glad I listened to your sponsor segment instead of skipping it normally because I was just thinking of getting some honey from the store later today. Maybe be I'll ordering some online instead. I see it isn't cheap but it's not actually expensive so that's okay, and it would be a one time thing, and I don't actually use honey that often or very much and even a very small jar will last me a year or more. I don't buy into any of the borderline pseudoscience stuff about it being a better antibacterial than normal honey or stuff like that, though, I just want something tasty. This comment is stupid and I'm sure you don't really care and I think there's a good chance I'll get hate for posting a comment like this but I'm doing it anyways. It's probably the caffeine in my veins. The hate for ads is mostly justified, considering how obnoxious and intrusive most ads or sponsors on the internet are, and I travel most places on the internet or even YT with an adblocker and the sponsorblock plugin myself, and for good reason. However, yours are in the same smooth voice you use for the rest of the video, and this is normal for this channel so even though it is an ad, it was still perfectly listenable. That's actually the only reason I have sponsorblock turned off for your channel, lmao. It's normally not bad because its an ad, it's normally bad because it is intrusive. This wasn't. Thank you for being better than most of the internet, and I'll be very sad when this channel stops putting up new content at the end of the year. You will be missed, for many reasons. As far as the video itself, I had no idea that microorganisms could do this, and I really wonder how this behavior evolved and how something with no brain that is effectively a bio-robot can manage it at all. But, I say that after half of your videos, as I'm a geologist not a biologist. If I see microorganisms in my microscope, they are generally just a shell and haven't moved in millions of years. P.S. I bought one of your microscopes a while back. In practice I use it for thin slices of rock more than I use it for biology, such is the life of a geologist, but it's still super cool and super easy to use compared to my old one, which was actually from the 1960s. Given my energy level typing this, I think I had too much coffee this morning, so I'll stop now or I will type-ramble about tangentially related stuff for hours and waste your time reading it. If you (or anyone else who might be reading the comments) actually reads this, I hope you have an awesome day!
Hello literally anyone from the microcosmos team! Can I steal "The Germ House" as a title for a microscopy channel I'm thinking of making someday? I really like it.
File copyright for it. It isn't expensive, in a lot of cases it will even cost you nothing. If someone else already owns the copyright they will either tell you, or if they don't know (copyright offices are not omnipotent all knowing entities, for the better) you can reasonably say that you didn't know in good faith and it will likely turn it into a matter of "change your name" instead of "get your pants sued off." With that said, I strongly recommend doing your due diligence in making sure no one else owns the rights before you use it to that name is a good idea. But file the paperwork for copyrighting it in an official way now, the worst that will happen is you get told no or it doesn't count if someone else owns it already.
@illustriouschin they don't need copyright paperwork, it's their channel and their content. It's instant copyright at least in the US where youtube is based and gets most of its policies
Farmers of Maunka honey can not guarantee "single origin" in the same way that coffee growers or chocolate growers can. There is no way to know for certain if bees did not bring nectar in from other flowers, they can try to limit it but they can not guarantee it and "single origin" or "monofloral" are both marketing lies.
Amoebas are the most interesting microbe in my opinion. Their amorphous shape goes well with their ambiguous lifestyle. Just doing whatever, for however long, it's fine pretending to be a rock and also fine pretending to eat one.
So, you're telling me that some amoebas acquired hard exoskeleton and then proceed to use a part of said shell them as a mean of catching their prey? Oh god, are they too turning into crabs?
Are all elements flat due to the two glass plates (squeezed), or are all the thingys acually 3D and just the focus point in in the middle and they are transparent'ish? I would imagine between the two glass plates for 20 micrometers there must be lots space for up and down, but i never see that in microspope videos ...
Is there or could you do a video about how single celled organisms “think”? They’re moving around and eating and making shells but how? Please and thank you.
Unfortunately that happens on a scale too small to really see with light microscopes, so I kind of doubt they'll make an episode like that. The basic idea is that it's all proteins turning each other (or their production) on or off. You have tons of receptors (proteins) of all kinds inside and outside the cell to gather information about its environment and internal state. These regulate proteins, which regulate proteins, which regulate other proteins, etc. This way many different pieces of sensory input can be integrated, amplified, compared, etc. and you can generate all kinds of complex behavior. You can search stuff like "cell signalling pathways" and look at some of the images to maybe get a simplified idea of what these tend to look like.
oooohh so they don't just move by changing the internal diffusion constants (although they probably do that to0) but they have a cytoskeleton of sorts they can use to suck things into vacuoles etc
@@PondScummer Ik not only does this revolutionize endosymbiotic theory but it also potentially provides a way for plants to produce their own nitrogen(although that is pretty far fetched, it is pretty cool to think about)
Anybody know how to write into thermo-fisher or Thor labs to give this channel one last chance? With that said, I love you guys. Thank you for that last few years 🫂

actually. i havent watched yet. will see more later
but the junkbug makes armor from its dead prey! it's covered in ant exoskeletons and shit
It uses its glued together shell as an exoskeleton. Amazing.
