Last time I wrote about what honey bees do, the number of honey bees is decreasing drastically, and what can we do?. Today is also about Honey Bees on a different side.

I think there are many things to learn from that small and lovely creature such as working hard, carrying pollen, making honey, having a social structure where role sharing is properly done… What is more surprising is that they are excellent mathematicians.

Hawaii Island – Breakfast –
Hawaii Island – Climate –

Following these, today is about the living things in the Hawaii Island.

I introduced about the climate in Hawaii Island – Climate –, the 13 climatic zones on Earth and the 11 exist in Hawaii Island. What a special place to have 11 different climatic zones in the same island.

There are many animals and plants where people live, I felt them closely. One of my favourite things of Hawaii Island is birds live closely. When eating at an open-air restaurant, birds came and stopped in the table or chair and saw me. It is very pretty bird came close to me and leans it’s head to one side.

And you can hear birdsongs often in the town. I think that never heard the voice of the birds like this even when I went to some places where were rich nature in other countries and regions. Maybe that voice is also beautiful and passes well so it sounds easy to hear. Warm wind, relaxing air, the sound of the returning waves, the sound of the wind that shakes trees, and high and beautiful bird voice…

I felt Hawaii that I imagined like “This is Hawaii!” but there are things that I was taught by my tour guide. Almost all of plants in Hawaii is from other countries, non-native. Also most of the birds are from other countries, they brought by human begins.

The last blog was about Breakfast in Hawaii Island, today is about the climate.

The basic information is about Hawaiian Islands.
