Kingella kingae is being recognized increasingly as a common etiology of pediatric osteoarticular infections, bacteremia, and endocarditis, which reflects improved culture methods and use of nucleic acid–amplification techniques in clinical microbiology laboratories. K kingae colonizes the posterior pharynx of young children and is transmitted from child to child through close personal contact. Day care attendance increases the risk for colonization and transmission, and clusters of K kingae infections among day care center attendees have been reported. Key virulence factors in K kingae include type IV pili and a potent RTX toxin. In previously healthy children, >95% of K kingae infections are diagnosed between the ages of 6 and 48 months. Among children with underlying medical conditions, K kingae disease may occur at older ages as well. The clinical presentation of K kingae disease is often subtle and may be associated with normal levels of acute-phase reactants, which underscores the importance of a high index of suspicion. K kingae is usually susceptible to ß-lactam antibiotics, and infections typically respond well to medical treatment, with the exception of cases of endocarditis.
Over the past 2 decades there has been a growing interest in the role of Kingella kingae as an invasive pediatric pathogen. Increasing use of improved culture methods1,–,4 and polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR)-based assays5,–,7 has demonstrated that K kingae is a common etiology of bacteremia and osteoarticular infections in children younger than 4 years.8,9 In this review we summarize current knowledge of the microbiology, epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of K kingae infections in children.
K kingae is a facultative anaerobic, ß-hemolytic, Gram-negative organism that appears as pairs or short chains of plump bacilli with tapered ends (Fig 1) and that tends to resist decolorization, which sometimes results in its misidentification as Gram-positive.10 It is oxidase-positive, yields negative catalase, urease, and indole reactions, produces acid from glucose and maltose but not from other sugars,10,11 and can be readily identified by commercial systems such as API NH or VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, Marcy-l'Etoile, France).
K kingae grows on routine sheep blood agar and chocolate agar, produces marked impressions on the agar surface, and fails to grow on MacConkey or Krigler agar.10 A CO2-enriched atmosphere enhances growth, but only a small fraction of strains are truly capnophilic.11
CARRIAGE AND TRANSMISSION OF K kingae
Asymptomatic colonization of the upper respiratory tract is a common strategy among a number of bacterial pathogens that survive and spread in the human population; examples include Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis. Results of recent studies using a selective vancomycin-containing medium to inhibit growth of resident Gram-positive bacteria have shown that K kingae is a member of the normal commensal flora of the posterior pharynx and is almost never found in nasopharyngeal cultures.11,–,13 Children usually first acquire K kingae after the age of 6 months. The colonization rate increases to 9% to 12% between the ages of 12 to 24 months and then gradually declines in older children and adults, which suggests an age-related immune response that eradicates the organism from the pharynx in older people.12,14
To investigate the dissemination of K kingae in the community and the potential clinical significance of upper respiratory tract colonization, the relatedness of pharyngeal isolates from a large cohort of young healthy carriers was studied by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and compared with historical isolates recovered over a 15-year period.13 Geographic clustering of isolates that exhibited indistinguishable genotyping profiles was found in households and neighborhoods, which indicates child-to-child spread of K kingae between siblings and playmates. Some isolates were identical to K kingae strains recovered in the past from carriers and patients with invasive disease, which demonstrates long-term persistence and potential virulence of some of the colonizing strains.13
It is interesting to note that a recent report described 3 patients with invasive K kingae infections who had genotypically identical isolates recovered from the pharynx and the bloodstream, which supports the idea that upper respiratory colonization represents the first step in the pathogenesis of invasive disease.15
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF INVASIVE K kingae DISEASE
K kingae disease is diagnosed most commonly in young children (Fig 2). In a recent Israeli multicenter study, 296 of 312 (95%) children with invasive K kingae disease in whom the patients' age was known were younger than 4 years (calculated annual incidence: 9.4 in 100 000 in children aged 0–4 years). Only 4 (1%) patients were younger than 6 months.16 The male-to-female ratio among cases was 1.3.16 Among 321 patients, 169 (53%) had osteoarticular infections, including 140 cases of septic arthritis, 19 cases of osteomyelitis, 7 cases of osteomyelitis and arthritis of the adjacent joint, and 3 cases of tenosynovitis.16 Among the remaining patients, 140 were diagnosed with bacteremia without a focus, 4 had bacteremia associated with a lower respiratory tract infection, and 8 had endocarditis. Meningitis,17 ocular infections,18 peritonitis,19 and pericarditis20 are rare manifestations of K kingae disease that have been described in other reports but were absent from this series.
Children younger than 4 years who develop K kingae disease are generally otherwise healthy.4,11,16 In contrast, older children and adults with K kingae disease often have underlying chronic disease, immunosuppressing conditions, malignancy, or cardiac valve pathology.4,11,16
In Israel, invasive K kingae disease occurs throughout the year; it is most common during November and December and least common between February and April.4,11,16 In a large prospective study in which pharyngeal carriage of K kingae was determined in February through May and October through December, the prevalence was comparable for the 2 periods, which suggests that the seasonal distribution of invasive K kingae disease cannot be readily explained by the epidemiology of pharyngeal carriage.14
DAY CARE CENTER ATTENDANCE AND K kingae MORBIDITY
The results of several studies have indicated that day care center (DCC) attendance is associated with an increased risk of K kingae colonization and transmission. In a longitudinal surveillance study performed over an 11-month period, 35 of 48 (73%) children who were attending a DCC had at least 1 pharyngeal culture test positive for K kingae, and an average of 28% of the children harbored K kingae in the pharynx at any given time.12 Molecular typing of isolates by using immunoblotting, ribotyping, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed genotypic similarities and person-to-person transmission among DCC attendees.21 One strain accounted for 46% of all isolates, and a second strain accounted for another 28% of the isolates, which suggests that some strains are particularly efficient mucosal colonizers.22 The same strain was often present continuously or intermittently for weeks or months in a given child and was then replaced by a new strain, which indicates that carriage is a dynamic process with relatively frequent turnover of colonizing organisms, similar to observations made with other respiratory pathogens.21
Recently, clusters of invasive K kingae disease were detected in DCCs in the United States and Israel.22,–,24 Affected children presented with osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, or spondylodiscitis. Investigation of these outbreaks revealed that isolates from children with disease and from asymptomatic carriers attending the same classrooms were genotypically identical, which indicates that infections were caused by virulent strains that had spread extensively within the facilities. Isolates of K kingae from control DCCs had distinct genotypic patterns, which indicates that each DCC facility may be considered an autonomous epidemiologic unit.22,23
IMMUNITY TO K kingae
In a longitudinal study, titers of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against K kingae outer-membrane proteins were high at 2 months of age, reached a nadir at the age of 6 to 7 months, remained low until the age of 18 months, and increased at the age of 24 months.25 Serum IgA levels against K kingae outer-membrane proteins were lowest at 2 months of age and slowly increased during the period between 4 and 7 months of age. Further increases in IgG and IgA antibodies were observed in children older than 24 months.25 The low attack rate of disease, absence of pharyngeal carriage, and high levels of IgG but no IgA antibodies detected in the first 6 months of life suggest that immunity to colonization and disease in early infancy is probably conferred by maternal antibodies. The high prevalence of K kingae in the pharynx and the high incidence of invasive infections among 6- to 24-month old children coincide with the age at which antibody levels are lowest. Increasing antibody levels among older children presumably reflect cumulative experience with K kingae or with cross-reacting antigens of other organisms, which results in a decline in the carriage rate and burden of clinical disease.25 Because of the relative rarity of invasive disease, asymptomatic pharyngeal colonization is likely to be an immunizing event. However, exposed epitopes are polymorphic, and the immune response elicited by carriage seems to be incomplete and strain-specific and does not prevent colonization by an antigenically different strain.26
The pathogenesis of disease caused by K kingae is believed to begin with colonization of the posterior pharynx. The process of colonization likely involves adherence to respiratory epithelial cells, which is mediated in vitro at least in part by type IV pili that are composed primarily of a major pilin subunit called PilA1.27,28 The PilA1 protein shares homology with the major pilin subunit in type IV pili expressed by other bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa PilA, N meningitidis PilE, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae PilE. In addition, K kingae pili contain 2 minor pilus-associated proteins referred to as PilC1 and PilC2, which seem to play complementary roles and influence the efficiency of adherence to respiratory epithelial cells. Examination of a series of clinical isolates of K kingae revealed that the majority of pharyngeal isolates are piliated and express abundant pili.27
After colonization of the posterior pharynx, K kingae must breach the epithelium to enter the bloodstream. Patients with invasive K kingae disease frequently present with symptoms of a viral respiratory infection, evidence of herpetic gingivostomatitis, or concomitant buccal aphthous ulcers, which suggests that viral-induced damage to the respiratory mucosa facilitates K kingae invasion of the bloodstream.8,11,29 Beyond the role of viral coinfection, K kingae produces a potent extracellular toxin that belongs to the RTX family of toxins and is capable of lysing epithelial, synovial, and macrophage cells.30 This toxin may facilitate disruption of the respiratory epithelium, perhaps with an enhanced effect in the setting of viral coinfection.
Once in the bloodstream, K kingae must be able to evade a variety of host defense mechanisms. Most bacterial pathogens that produce bacteremic disease in children produce an extracellular polysaccharide capsule that facilitates resistance to serum-killing activity and opsonophagocytosis. Examples include S pneumoniae, N meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Streptococcus agalactiae, and Escherichia coli. Analysis of the genome of K kingae strain 269-492 reveals open reading frames with homology to the ctrABCD operon involved in polysaccharide export and encapsulation in N meningitidis (unpublished data), which raises the possibility that K kingae elaborates a polysaccharide capsule as a mechanism to promote intravascular survival and dissemination to distant sites.
In patients in whom K kingae is able to persist in the bloodstream, the organism may produce uncomplicated bacteremia or instead disseminate to joints, bones, or the endocardium. Recent analysis of a large collection of K kingae clinical isolates revealed that strains recovered from the blood of patients with uncomplicated bacteremia were generally piliated but typically expressed relatively few pili. In contrast, strains recovered from joint fluid, bone aspirates, or the blood of patients with endocarditis were generally nonpiliated.27 It is possible that low-density piliation facilitates a tropism for joints, bones, and the endocardium and potentiates an inflammatory response, which then selects against piliated organisms.27 Consistent with this possibility, pili promote efficient adherence to cultured synovial cells.28 Similar to type IV pili expressed by other pathogens, K kingae pili are regulated by a transcription factor called σ54 and by a 2-component sensor/regulator system referred to as PilS/PilR.31 Mutations in the PilS sensor result in reduced density of pili, similar to the relative decrease in density of pili in isolates recovered from the bloodstream compared with the posterior pharynx.31 In contrast, mutations in the PilR response regulator result in elimination of piliation, similar to the absence of pili in isolates from joints and bones.31 At this point, it is unclear what environmental factors influence σ54, PilS, and PilR activity and control the density of K kingae piliation.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION OF K kingae INFECTIONS
Most patients with invasive K kingae disease have moderate fever, but some are afebrile.4,11,16 Constitutional symptoms are typically lacking except in patients with endocarditis.4,11,16 Peripheral white blood cell count, C-reactive protein level, and erythrocyte-sedimentation rate are generally mildly to moderately elevated but may be normal.4,11,16
Skeletal System Infections
K kingae septic arthritis generally involves large joints such as the knee, hip, ankle, or shoulder.11,16 In addition, the small metacarpophalangeal, sternoclavicular, and tarsal joints are overrepresented in K kingae disease compared with septic arthritis because of other pathogens.11,16,32 In a recent study by Dubnov-Raz et al,16 the mean white blood cell count in synovial fluid in patients with K kingae septic arthritis was 130 000/μL (range: ∼5000 to ∼300 000/μL), and the differential contained 90% to 96% neutrophils.
Although K kingae osteomyelitis usually affects the long bones, involvement of the calcaneus, talus, sternum, or clavicle may occur.11,16 Patients with K kingae osteomyelitis have a significantly more prolonged duration of symptoms before admission compared with children with septic arthritis (9.2 ± 9.4 vs 3.2 ± 3.0 days, respectively).16 Despite the diagnostic delay, chronic osteomyelitis and orthopedic sequelae seem to be uncommon.11,33,34
Nowadays, K kingae is responsible for more than one-quarter of all cases of hematogenous spondylodiscitis in children younger than 4 years.35,–,38 This disease usually involves the lumbar discs, and patients present with limping, low-back pain, refusal to sit or walk, or neurologic symptoms. Radiograph or MRI studies reveal narrowing of the intervertebral space. Patients with K kingae spondylodiscitis respond well to appropriate antibiotic treatment and recover without long-term complications.36,37
Although bone and joint infections are not considered self-limited diseases, transient involvement of the skeletal system during an episode of K kingae bacteremia may occur.32,39,40 Children in this circumstance present with limping or refusal to walk or bear weight but without objective signs of osteomyelitis or septic arthritis. In the few published cases, by the time blood cultures became positive, the fever and skeletal complaints had resolved without antimicrobial therapy, which suggests an abortive clinical course. Despite the favorable experience of withholding therapy for some children with possible skeletal system involvement from whom K kingae is isolated, caution is recommended, and adequate antibiotics should probably be administered to all patients from whom the organism is recovered from a normally sterile body fluid.
K kingae bacteremia without evidence of endocarditis has been observed primarily in children.4,8,11,16,41,42 The duration of symptoms before diagnosis ranges from 1 to 7 days, and the mean maximal fever is 39.0°C.4 In the study by Dubnov-Raz et al,4 laboratory values in children with K kingae bacteremia included a mean peripheral blood leukocyte count of 12 700/μL (range: 7120–47 040/μL), a mean C-reactive protein level of 2.2 mg/dL (range: 0.6–13.4 mg/dL), and a mean erythrocyte-sedimentation rate of 50 mm/hour (range: 14–115 mm/hour). Patients with K kingae bacteremia without endocarditis respond favorably to a short course of antibiotics.8,11
K kingae is included in the HACEK (Haemophilus species, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens, and Kingella species) group of organisms that is collectively responsible for up to 5% of cases of bacterial endocarditis. In contrast to other K kingae infections, endocarditis has been diagnosed primarily in older children and adults.11 In approximately one-half of patients the infection affects a native valve. A predisposing cardiac malformation or rheumatic heart disease is commonly observed, but some patients have previously normal heart valves.11,24,43,–,46 Typically, the left side of the heart is involved, usually the mitral valve. In general, fever and acute-phase reactants are more elevated in patients with endocarditis compared with those with uncomplicated bacteremia; however, no particular cutoff value accurately distinguishes between the 2 conditions.16 Despite the remarkable susceptibility of K kingae to antibiotics, cardiac failure, septic shock, mycotic aneurisms, pulmonary infarctions, meningitis, cerebrovascular accidents, and other life-threatening complications are common, and the overall mortality rate is ∼16%.11,24,43,–,45 Because of the potential severity of K kingae endocarditis, routine echocardiographic evaluation of all people from whom the organism is isolated from a normally sterile site has been recommended by some authors.47
Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
K kingae has been isolated from the blood or pleural fluid of previously healthy and immunocompromised adult and pediatric patients with epiglottitis, laryngotracheobronchitis, pneumonia, or pyothorax,11 which suggests that the organism may cause lower respiratory tract infections.
Culture Detection of K kingae
The recovery of K kingae from purulent specimens seeded onto solid culture media is suboptimal and results in a lack of growth in many instances.1,11 The yield of cultures can be significantly improved by inoculating clinical specimens into aerobic blood-culture vials from a variety of automated blood-culture systems such as BACTEC (Becton Dickinson, Cockeysville, MD), BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika Corporation, Durham, NC), and Hemoline DUO (bioMérieux, Paris, France).11 When positive blood-culture vials are subcultured onto routine solid media, K kingae grows readily, which suggests that exudates exert an inhibitory effect on the bacterium and that dilution of purulent material in a large volume of broth may decrease the concentration of inhibitory factors, which improves the recovery of this fastidious organism.1 In studies conducted in Israel and France in which blood-culture vials were consistently used for culturing synovial fluid aspirates, K kingae was isolated in almost half of the young children with culture-proven septic arthritis, which indicates that this method should be routinely used to improve the bacteriologic diagnosis.3,9
PCR Detection of K kingae
Because of the risk for long-term orthopedic sequelae after bone and joint infections, prompt bacteriologic confirmation of the diagnosis and early initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy are critical. However, results of cultures of bone aspirates and synovial fluid are often negative. Furthermore, even if a bacterium is isolated, complete identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing require 2 to 3 additional days.48
In recent years, the use of conventional and real-time PCR has enabled identification of the etiology of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis within 24 hours.32,48 This approach involves extracting DNA from clinical samples, incubation of the DNA with broad-range oligonucleotide primers that anneal to constant regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, and amplification of the intervening sequence, which varies according to bacterial species.48 The resulting amplification products are either sequenced and compared with sequences in the GenBank database or hybridized with organism-specific probes. In addition, PCR assays that amplify K kingae–specific targets such as cpn60 or the RTX toxin genes were developed and have been associated with high reliability.6,7,49,–,51
Studies published over the previous decade have shown that PCR enhances detection of K kingae in bone and joint samples compared with routine cultures and blood-culture vials, as summarized in Table 1. These studies clearly showed that recovery of K kingae by culture remains unsatisfactory, even when samples are inoculated into blood-culture vials. PCR-based assays substantially improve detection of the organism, which shows that K kingae is the leading etiology of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in children aged 6 to 48 months and is responsible for a large fraction of culture-negative infections in this age group.
Antibiotic Susceptibility
K kingae is almost always highly susceptible to penicillins and cephalosporins, although β-lactamase production has been reported in rare isolates.56,–,58 With few exceptions, K kingae is also susceptible to aminoglycosides, macrolides, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, and fluoroquinolones. The organism exhibits decreased susceptibility to oxacillin (minimum inhibitory concentration range: 0.25–96 μg/mL; minimum inhibitory concentration required to inhibit the growth of 50% of organisms: 2 μg/mL) and is fully resistant to trimethoprim and glycopeptide antibiotics.11,58 Nearly 40% of isolates are resistant to clindamycin.58
Treatment of Invasive Infections
Because of the lack of specific guidelines for the treatment of K kingae infections, patients have been treated with a variety of antibiotics according to protocols developed for infections caused by traditional pathogens. Because of the benign course followed by most invasive K kingae infections, it is possible that short antibiotic courses are adequate for patients with bacteremia or osteoarthritis. However, at this stage, the lack of controlled studies precludes formulation of evidence-based recommendations on the preferable antibiotic and the optimal length of therapy for K kingae disease.
The empirical drug therapy for skeletal infections in children usually consists of intravenous administration of oxacillin/nafcillin or a second- or third-generation cephalosporin while pending culture results.11 In areas in which community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is prevalent, a combination of a β-lactam antibiotic and vancomycin is recommended.59 The initial antibiotic regimen is frequently changed to ampicillin or cefuroxime once K kingae is identified and β-lactamase production is excluded. Clinical response and a variety of acute-phase reactants are used to guide switching to oral antibiotics and defining duration of therapy. Antibiotic treatment has generally varied from 2 to 3 weeks for K kingae arthritis, from 3 to 6 weeks for K kingae osteomyelitis, and from 3 to 12 weeks for K kingae spondylodiscitis.11 Although some children with septic arthritis have been managed with repeat joint aspirations and lavage,40 most patients with skeletal system involvement respond promptly to conservative treatment with appropriate antibiotics and do not require invasive surgical procedures.11
Children with K kingae bacteremia are generally treated initially with an intravenous β-lactam antibiotic and are subsequently switched to an oral β-lactam once the clinical condition has improved. In most cases, the total duration of therapy ranges from 1 to 2 weeks.8,11
Patients with K kingae endocarditis are usually treated with an intravenous β-lactam antibiotic alone or in combination with an aminoglycoside for 4 to 7 weeks. Early surgical intervention is necessary for life-threatening complications that are unresponsive to medical therapy.11,43,–,46
Eradication of Carriage
In the 3 reported outbreaks of K kingae disease among DCC attendees, antibiotics were administered to contacts in an attempt to prevent further cases; either rifampin 20 mg/kg twice daily for 2 days23 or a combination of rifampin 20 mg/kg twice daily for 2 days and amoxicillin 80 mg/kg per day for either 2 days24 or 4 days22 was used. K kingae was eradicated from the pharynx in 67% to 80% of colonized children in 2 of the outbreaks.22,23 In the third outbreak, the pretreatment colonization rate was low, which precluded assessment of the chemoprophylaxis effect.24 Although experience has been limited, it seems prudent to consider administration of short antibiotic courses to contacts aged 6 to 48 months when clusters of disease are detected in DCC settings.
For most of the 4 decades since the first description of K kingae, the organism was considered a rare cause of human disease. However, since the early 1990s there have been an increasing number of reports of K kingae disease, which indicates that this pathogen is a common cause of bacteremia, septic arthritis, and osteomyelitis in young children. Most of the existing case series are derived from European and Israeli sources, and there have been limited reports from the United States. When considering this discrepancy, it is notable that detection of this fastidious organism strongly depends on the microbiologic methodology used. In Israel and France, the blood-culture vial method has been widely adopted for culturing joint aspirates,3,16 whereas this practice seems to be less common in the United States. A surveillance conducted in 2001–2002 by the Infectious Diseases Society of America Emerging Infections Network identified lack of consultation with a pediatric infectious diseases specialist and unwillingness of bacteriology laboratories to process blood-culture vials seeded with synovial fluid as barriers to the use of this approach.60 In addition, because only half of the children with K kingae bacteremia have a body temperature of ≥39.0°C, and one-third have a leukocyte count of <15 000 white blood cells per mL, the current US guidelines for managing young febrile children with no apparent focus, which rely on the height of fever and white blood cell count for obtaining blood cultures, may not be sufficiently sensitive to detect this condition in children.16,61 Furthermore, specific PCR assays have revolutionized the diagnosis of K kingae in recent years but are not in broad use in US hospitals, which hampers detection of the organism. Increasing use of novel microbiologic methods and familiarity of clinical microbiology laboratories with the identification of K kingae will expand our current knowledge of this intriguing pediatric pathogen.

FLIGHT PATTERNS: Last week I spent a lot of time building a fairly complex flight itinerary between Burlington, San Diego, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Kampala, Uganda. Remarkably, over the space of 48 hours, the price fluctuated by hundreds of dollars, and even over the course of a few minutes, some flights became unavailable or cost a few dollars more. As reported in The Wall Street Journal (January 27, 2011: Life & Culture), finding cheap airfare is all about timing. Travel experts report that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best days to buy tickets. Airline ticket discounts are typically announced on Monday nights. Airlines in the same market may match prices on Tuesday. By the end of the week, the promotion may have expired or all seats taken. Conversely, when airlines want to raise ticket prices, they do so on Thursday evenings and wait to see if their competitors match the price. If not, the fares can be rolled back the following Monday. Computers track ticket sales and can add seats at a price point if sales are slow or remove them if sales are brisk. Monitoring fare tends to be more brisk on the weekdays. The airline and travel consolidators all report far more tickets are sold midweek than on weekends. This pattern may be remnant of the days when business travelers booked through travel agents who tended to work Monday through Friday. With more and more people booking directly online, and many Americans on social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook, some carriers are breaking the pattern and experimenting with tweeting very short duration sales. According to the article, while purchase dates clearly can impact the cost of a ticket, the departure date selected has greater impact. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures tend to be less expensive than Monday, Friday, or Sunday flights. As for me, I was quite happy that a non-stop flight from San Diego to Washington, DC suddenly became available and with my flexible schedule, I could depart Kampala on a Tuesday saving almost $400.

Lush Times columnist, permaculture expert and now beekeeper Maddy Harland explains why bees are so essential to the health of the planet, and why she recently made her own Top Bar hive, for a gentler way of beekeeping.
The honeybee pollinates 70% of the crops that contribute to a significant quantity of the world's food supply. So the threat of honeybee extinction has catastrophic implications, including crop failure, starvation and the inability of some trees to pollinate, leading to deforestation, the collapse of the water cycle and more climate chaos. This is a scenario we cannot allow to happen.
The varroa mite is a significant factor in bee decline. It can only reproduce in a honeybee colony. Like a tiny vampire, it attaches itself to the body of the bee and weakens the bee by sucking out its body fat. It also spreads diseases like the deformed wing virus. A significant mite infestation will lead to the death of a honeybee colony.
Varroa originally occurred in Asia but has spread worldwide due to the practice of shipping bee colonies to pollinate crops and farm honey. Only Australia is free of the mite, but it is expected that will not be so for long.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service and the US Department of Agriculture recorded honeybee losses from 29% to 45% between 2010 and 2015, varroa being one serious culprit. Poor nutrition and pesticide exposure are also factors, especially among commercial beekeepers.
In my last blog The Beautiful World of Bees, I mentioned that using conventional national hives is very disruptive for honeybees. Bees keep the heart of the hive - the brood nest where the Queen lays her eggs that hatch into baby bees - at a constant temperature of 32°C and optimally 35°C.
With a national hive, it is commonplace to dismantle the hive to check, frame by frame, for unwanted Queen cells, pests like wax moths, and bee diseases, and to add more frames in the centre of the brood box if needed. This temporarily reduces the temperature of the nest and requires energy from the bees (aka honey) to re-establish equilibrium.
In addition, if the beekeeper removes too much honey during the harvesting season, it necessitates feeding the bees with syrup or fondant made from white sugar to help them survive the winter. Add to this the systemic use of chemical treatments to treat bee diseases and pests like varroa mite, and you have honey farming, not beekeeping.
Natural beekeepers have a very different approach. A national (conventional) hive uses rectangular frames with premoulded wax foundations. These work like templates and determine the size of the cells in which the Queen lays her eggs. Top Bar hives only have strips of wood that lie across the top of the bee box; these allow the bees to draw out comb as they would do in the wild and this makes for a more natural 'nest'.
A Top Bar is essentially a long horizontal box that tapers at the bottom with 20+ bars placed along the top. (Ideally pieces of western red cedar with a narrow filament of wood attached to them: 43 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm). The beekeeper rubs wax along the length of the filament and the bees then build their comb downwards from the bar. They 'know' exactly the space to leave between bars – called the 'bee space' – it is just big enough for a bee to pass easily between two combs (9.525 mm or 3/8 inch is the ideal). It also means the nest is kept at the optimal temperature for bee health. Clever bees!
Building natural comb
Allowing bees to build natural comb has a number of advantages besides being beautiful. It makes the size of cells smaller (and thus the bees that hatch from it). This reduces the lifecycle of the grubs and means they hatch faster, reducing the time a varroa mite can feed on the grub or unhatched bee in a capped cell. (Bees like to groom each other once hatched, removing mites that then drop through a mesh floor at the bottom of the hive and die.)
Natural comb cannot be spun centrifugally for honey as with national frames, so when bars are harvested (only when there is excess in the height of the season), the whole comb is removed. Honey is extracted by squashing the comb and then sieving it. It is 100% unheated, natural honey. The wax is then processed for candles, polishes and balms. It doesn't go back into the hive. And since wax can store the residue of pesticides that bees bring into the hive on nectar and pollen, it is important to make sure old wax is removed and the bees produce new wax. Top Bars encourage new comb but they do not allow the beekeeper to take big honey harvests.
In a Top Bar hive, the nest where the brood are laid and hatch is in the centre of the structure and each side of it are 'follow' boards; moveable pieces of ply on a bar that define the edge of the nest. Once the nest starts filling with brood and honey stores the boards can be moved back and more bars added, making more space for the bees to build comb. But at some point, the hive fills up and the bees want to swarm.
Bees procreate by swarming. The old Queen and an entourage of flying bees leave the hive with half the honey stores in search of a new home. Conventional beekeepers try and prevent their bees from swarming by grubbing out new Queen cells (so the old Queen will not leave the existing colony). Destroying unhatched Queens necessitates opening the hives every 10 days in the height of summer and adding more and more frames and boxes - called supers - to store the honey in.
Natural beekeepers do not open their hives regularly and they do not grub out the Queen cells since it is the bees' own 'insurance policy' to always have new Queen cells in waiting, just in case the current Queen has an accident. Natural beekeepers also allow their bees to swarm, as it is their natural behaviour and how they multiply their population. Swarming also breaks the lifecycle of the old Queen. She flies away, leaving a new Queen and her brood, and only starts to lay new eggs in her new home. These require 21 days to hatch, giving the varroa less new bees to feed on and more chance for the existing bees to groom each other and get rid of the mites. This break in the cycle interrupts the varroa, and helps keep infestations in check.
Jim the Bee, my Top Bar hive maker and teacher, told me that in Dorset none of the natural beekeeping group has a problem with varroa. So we can deduce that giving bees the autonomy to make comb, leaving them to swarm and only harvesting excess stores and leaving them enough honey to survive the winter, builds up their immune systems and makes for healthier, more resilient bees. Bees are no different to humans: feed us fast foods and sugar and we get sick. Feed us home grown organic veggies and lovely fresh food and we generally thrive!
Being part of the solution
So having learnt to keep bees conventionally but never over-harvesting honey; instead, leaving bees adequate stores, and being as gentle as possible with checking my bees in the summer, I decided that I needed to compare nationals to Top Bars. I saw a classified advert in Permaculture Magazine advertising a day's workshop to build you own Top Bar hive out of western red cedar in a day. No skills required. That is how I met Jim the Bee at Rylands Farm, a care farm near Dorchester in Dorset where he teaches beekeeping and woodworking.
I love carpentry, but I am no joiner. Jim measures and pre-cuts all the pieces of the hive before the day. So I started building the base in the morning, joining the four edges. Once the rectangular frame of the box is made, we added the mesh floor and a base that can be lowered in warm weather and screwed up in winter. Clever stuff.
Then I added a glass observation window, which enables checking inside the hive without opening it up, and Jim's bespoke 'periscope' entrance; this provides the bees with a little landing board and a defendable access for the guard bees that ward off wasps and robber bees. The roof is a rectangular frame with three triangular boards to which lapped roof boards are attached. The main 'nest' box with the roof on top then sits on four sturdy legs.
This may sound a little complicated but Jim has worked out a clever system of templates that ensure you drill holes and fix in the right places. You can also take a pal along to help you build your hive whilst talking bees and natural beekeeping, stopping for tea and making new friends. Jim is on hand to help with the build, section by section, and everyone also makes 30 of the top bars when they have a spare moment. There is no sense of urgency and we go at our own pace.
I can honestly say I had the best of times. I met lovely people, learnt all about Top Bar beekeeping, and came home with a fabulous 1.24m long quality beehive. There is something deeply satisfying about using both the head and the hands to make a structure that will house bees.
Years ago I decided I wanted to be part of the solution and not part of the problem - a permaculture saying. With all flying insects in such serious decline (75% loss in 25 years) and honeybees threatened by an array of diseases, pesticides and sudden colony collapse, natural beekeeping is one approach we can practice to help increase our bee population. And something everyone can do is to only buy natural honey from local beekeepers who don't 'farm' their bees.

(FREDERICTON, NB) The Laval Rouge et Or dominated Saturday's women's six kilometre AUS-RSEQ cross country race through Fredericton's Odell Park.
Laval runners swept the podium.
Laval's Anne-Marie Comeau finished first, in a time of 20:58, ahead of teammates Jesse Lacourse and Aureli Dube-Lavoie.
"It's a fast course, but it was hard," said Comeau. "I gave all of what I had and I'm happy with the win."
Michelle Reddy, of the Dalhousie Tigers, was the first Atlantic University Sport finisher. She ran fifth.
"I was a little intimidated with how fast they went out," said Reddy. "They kind of gapped me 50-metres off the start. Looking back, I should've taken the risk and gone with them, because it never really grew, it kind of stayed the same. I wish I'd taken the risk."
Dal's Savanna Jordan and Sophie Watts ran 6th and 7th, while Acadia's Katie Robinson was 8th.
Hannah Cormier was the top UNB Reds runner. She finished 44th overall.
"I knew there was going to be a lot of top runners, so I just tried to run my own race and thought of it more as an elite level AUS race, so that I knew where I should fit in," said Cormier.
Cormier was hoping for more, but believes she can improve heading into the season's most important period.
"Ideally, I'd be a little further up in the AUS conference races, but hopefully I'll keep progressing over the next couple of weeks, before the AUS championships."
Jean-Simon Desgagnes, of the Laval Rouge et Or, won Saturday's AUS/RSEQ interlock men's cross country race, through Fredericton's Odell Park.
Desgagnes covered the eight kilometre course in a time of 25:14, beating Angus Rawlings, of the St FX X-Men, by just four seconds.
Andrew Peverill, of the Saint Mary's Huskies, finished third in 25:28.
The X-Men's Alex Neuffer was fourth.
Peverill set a fast early pace, leading through the first four kilometres.
"We let him go a bit but we kept him in sight," said Desgagnes. "At four K, with the StFX guy, we caught him, then raced together. For the kick at the end, I knew they were there, but I just let it go."
"When we started going up the hill on the second lap, the Laval guy and I started chasing him down," said Rawlings. "After that it was kind of all on the gas for the next four kilometres."
Desgagnes and Rawlings traded the lead throughout the final two kilometres, with the Quebec runner winning a sprint to the finish line.
"I knew he had those wheels at the end, so I was trying to get rid of him before, and once he made that move past me I knew I wasn't going to catch him so I said to myself let's just hold on," said Rawlings.
Isaac Cull was the top UNB Reds finisher, running 24th overall. Cull finished in 27:05, 1:51 behind the winner.
"I think we could definitely have had a better performance than what we had today," said Cull. "We need to have a little bit more confidence in ourselves. It seemed like it wasn't there today. When it comes time for AUS, our confidence levels will be much better.
The AUS season continues Oct. 13th with the Universite de Moncton Invitational.
The Subway AUS Championship goes October 27th, in Halifax.

James Blunt Says He's "Lucky" To Have Had More Success Than The Rolling Stones
James Bunt may have just ignited the music war to end all music wars.
Blunt, 45, just threw major shade at the legendary Rolling Stones, suggesting they are still looking for their "You're Beautiful."
Blunt's song topped the charts in 2004, and Blunt believes he's lucky to have experienced that kind of success so early in his career, whereas groups like the Stones are still looking for their "hit." Blunt says, "I think most musicians and bands are searching for that one big hit. You know, I think The Rolling Stones are still looking, and, and I'm just lucky enough to have it out there right now, at the top of my career."
Though some might say that the Stones have never really focused on "massive" singles, as Blunt would suggest, it's important to note that "Satisfaction" was once voted the greatest rock song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.
No members of the band have offered a comment as of yet.

CH20 Elbow
The unique seat base, seeming to float above the legs, is made from 11-ply laminate and provides exceptional stability without the usage of any crosspieces underneath. The characteristic rounded backrest, steam bend and crafted from 1 piece of solid wood, enables a variety of seating positions. It also allows for support for the arms (thereby the name, "The Elbow Chair") which increases the comfort and the ability to sit in the chair for a long time. The CH20 can be stacked up to 4 at a time. Long-term stacking, however, is not recommended as it may result in deforming the upholstery over time. It is a light and space saving dining chair taking up little space around the dining table. The horizontal seat and lower back support also make the CH20 a great chair for usage as a desk chair. It is made from solid hardwood, hardwood laminate and cold foam, upholstered in the customer's choice of fabric or leather.

Federal Labor will establish a local advisory panel to provide expert advice on the delivery of a Shorten Labor Government's $1 billion Northern Australia Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
Labor's local advisory panel will include representatives from Darwin and other regional tourism centres such as Alice Springs, Katherine, Cairns and Townsville.
The local advisory panel will advise on issues such as:
• Building regional airport capacity;
• Developing cruise ship infrastructure;
• Identifying required road infrastructure;
• Attracting international tourists and international airlines into regional centres;
• Attracting tourists from Asia;
• Developing new experiences and attractions;
• Job-creation opportunities in tourism.
The panel will consist of community leaders, business owners, tourism operators and other important stakeholders – to help determine what local projects should receive support under the Fund.
It will be established in the next few months so that it can start providing advice and recommendations to Labor this year – and funds can start being delivered as soon as possible in government.
Tourism is a key sector of the Territory's economy, employing 17,300 Territorians both directly and indirectly.
The Northern Territory is a world class tourist destination, but communities which rely on tourism for local jobs are being let down by ageing infrastructure which is not keeping up with the needs of the market.
Labor wants to kick-start a tourism infrastructure boom – and a jobs boom for Northern Australia.
Member for Solomon Luke Gosling is also co-hosting a Tourism IdeasFest on 3 March at Darwin International Airport. The day will provide an opportunity to listen and learn from local operators and members of the community who have ideas for new and innovative tourism infrastructure and initiatives.
Territorians who wish to be considered for the local advisory panel are encouraged to write to email@example.com to express interest.

Did you see The Cougar last night? If you didn't, you honestly missed out on something truly magical in the realm of trashy, reality television. It turns out that this show wasn't a bad idea; it's the best idea! There were so many trains in this colossal train wreck that it's difficult to know where to begin.
There was, for starters, the Vivica A. Fox train wreck. She's actually pretty likable as a hostess, and you feel kinda bad for seeing her have to sink so low for a paycheck. That said, though, I've never seen a forehead been more botoxed in my entire life. It really. Doesn't. Move. I guess that means the train wreck is actually Vivica A. Fox's forehead, but still, yikes!
Then you have their version of the rose ceremony, which is called "the kiss off." She literally kisses contestants on the lips if they stay or the cheek if they're out. Trust me, it's far more sexy than it sounds, particularly when she's clearly making barf faces while kissing some of the 15 guys she had to keep on the show past this first elimination. Oh the things a cougar must do in the quest for true love (of sex with men nearly half your age).
And let's not forget the men themselves. Hot damn is this a rough crowd. Several of them are admittedly reasonably attractive in a generic straight dude sort of way, but then they ruin that modicum of attraction you muster by insisting on talking:
I think if you listen to them try to woo her enough, your ears may start to bleed. That doesn't mean you can turn away, though. No no, you just cover your ears 'til these guys stop talking.
Mostly, though, there's this guy, Kevin. He's a particularly nasty train wreck (one where all the train cars are filled with puppies and kittens and rainbows) all unto himself:
You may find it surprising to learn, but Kevin got voted off in the first episode (!). But he's a life enthusiast with good looks, y'all! Is there no justice whatsoever on The Cougar? Perhaps the clincher was the pickup line he tried out on the cougar:
Would you like an Australian kiss? It's like a French kiss, but down under.
Apparently those classy words are not the way to a cougar's "heart" (lady-box). Who knew?
Really, if this is not enough to convince you of the undeniable greatness that is The Cougar, you really must just watch it for yourself online. Like I said, this mess is magical, and I stand by that 100%. Hell, make that 110%. I'm a life enthusiast like that.

JustCloud is definitely an online storage facility that's becoming increasingly popular with most individuals and businesses choosing to keep a backup of their computer files within the cloud. cloud storage
Most people don't plan for the worst case scenario when it comes to computer crashes or viruses destroying pcs or laptops. With many computers storing a huge amount of people's files, images, programmes and documents, it really is even more important to make certain copies are stored remotely if the worst should happen to your computer.
What is the cloud?
Quite simply, the cloud is the future of computing. The cloud supplies the ability for a copy of the computer files to be stored on a remote server where they're held safely and securely and whereby you can access 24 hours a day.
How does JustCloud work?
Once signed up, JustCloud users download a software to their computer. Users determine which folders they would like backed up and this takes a few minutes. This makes it particularly great for beginners or individuals who have no experience with backing up their computer. JustCloud then works silently in the background backing up on a daily basis.
You will get unlimited storage and all sorts of your files will probably be synced from your computer for the cloud. This makes it easy to edit a file on your own home computer and then later in the day finish editing the file on your office computer.
It is very easy to use making it perfect for everyone to use. You can access your files from the tablet, PC, smartphone, laptop or desktop at any time, from any location. Additionally, it has the ability to share your files and folders with friends and family. It is possible to invite them by email, Facebook, Twitter or give them a unique link.
JustCloud may be too automated for many users who prefer to complete things manually. But if you like most people who prefer what to just work out with the box then JustCloud will be the online storage product for you cloud storage

The Fostering Network today announced the launch of the new Fostering Wellbeing programme in partnership with Cwm Taf Social Services and Wellbeing Partnership Board.
This new innovative programme will help foster carers and all those who work with fostered children and young people to understand and respond holistically to the child, recognising that good relationships are central to promoting social, physical and emotional wellbeing.
The aim is to recognise foster carers as a key part of the education team as well as improving engagement, knowledge and confidence among carers, social workers and health and education professionals. The programme will encourage aspiration and ambition among fostered young people as well as shared values among all those involved with looked after children.
The Fostering Network will work with Cwm Taf Social Services and Wellbeing Partnership Board, which brings together Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil local authorities with Cwm Taf health board, to pilot the programme for two years in the region. Elements of the programme include service support, regional themed masterclasses and recruitment of Fostering Wellbeing champions.
Fostering Wellbeing is funded by Welsh Government and combines social pedagogy principles with education focused activities, taking learning from The Fostering Network's successful Head, Heart, Hands and London Fostering Achievement programmes.
Colin Turner, director of The Fostering Network in Wales said: 'Improving outcomes for looked after children and young people is central to everything that The Fostering Network does. We know that when foster carers and the other professionals in the lives of looked after children work well together, outcomes improve. Fostering Wellbeing is the latest in a number of important programmes that we run in Wales, and we very much look forward to working with Cwm Taf to take the learning from other programmes The Fostering Network has run and seeking to apply them in that part of South Wales.'
Gareth Chapman, chief executive of Merthyr Tydfil Council, said: 'We are delighted to be taking part in this exciting pilot. In Cwm Taf, we are passionate about the potential that can be achieved for young people when foster carers are equipped with the right information, skills and support.
'Being part of this pilot represents an opportunity for foster carers, young people and professionals to shape and influence new developments that will underpin stability and success for looked after young people here in Cwm Taf and across Wales.'
Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children, Carl Sargeant said: 'As part of the work of the Improving Outcomes for Children Ministerial Advisory Group, I'm pleased we are working with The Fostering Network to explore the impact of a holistic approach to caring for children which combines education and care.
'This is an exciting and innovative project, promoting partnership across boundaries to put the child's wellbeing at its heart.'

Etsy is blowing up with these AMAZING chalk boards made by folks who like bright colors and intricate designs. I thought how cool. In fact I thought, I want one. Which made me then say, I want to make one.
This is again a victim of not taking many pictures so let me show you the final project first.
Isn't she beautiful? (The Chalk board.) The yellow is spray paint bought from my local Home Depot. The chalk board paint is from my even more local Ace Hardware store.
How do you make such a beauty?
You go thrift store shopping. It's a great thing to do. When you are there go to the "art" section one for a good laugh of what someone once bought and two for your frame. This was a framed velvet picture of a matador. I'm not even joking. The ugly "art" almost made me lose sight of what I was looking for. A frame! Therefore after THREE trips to the thrift store humming and grumbling about whether or not this matador was worth three dollars I finally bought it. The frame is pretty great.
Then what did I do? I popped the "art" out of the back and stopped at my local Home Depot for the goods. I need a piece of wood cut to the size of the art so it could slide in the frame. The folks at Home Depot are great they didn't judge my matador artwork.
Anyway. Then I painted. I sprayed the wood, and I spray painted the frame. Simple right?
Here's the back so you can see how the wood just kinda "popped in." Now the folks at Home Depot really wanted me to make sure my project was sturdy. Because originally I was just going to wood glue this sucker in and call it a day. They suggested that annndddd….
a power tool! Okay it's not a power tool because it doesn't get plugged in. BUT it's pretty cool when it makes that KA-CHUNK noise every time a staple goes in. Now I'm totally with Home Depot on this one, I'm glad I didn't just do glue alone (although the fit was so snug I don't think that sucker is going anywhere. Make sure you use the right size staples (mine were short) and the right staple gun (I used light) it was a really easy to do assembly and I really love it.
It really helps bring my apartment together and feeling more like, "I live here."

Is jealousy destroying your relationship? If yes this article is the one you want to read.
Jealousy is one of the most crippling debilitating emotions a person can experience. It can be consuming. It destroys your ability to experience, see or know the truth.
It's a fear that is relentless and constant.
It can be triggered by something which actually was threatening or something that was completely unthreatening and unwarranted.
Jealousy comes from within and a feeling of lack. It is caused by so many different inner issues, lack of trust, not feeling safe, feeling worthy, not good enough, undeserving, untrusting as well as other inner possible inner issues.
Jealousy is something which can be passed on energetically through a gene in your DNA from your ancestors. It can go back many many many generations. The trauma, horror, shame, humiliation, and terror they may have felt in that situation made an imprint in their DNA which has been passed on to you, unknowingly. You feel it uncontrollably as if it were your own, regardless of whether the situation warrants it.
This feeling of jealousy can be crippling and exhausting, as it leaves you unable to rest or safe, or at peace with yourself.
More often than not it, it has nothing to do with the actual situation which triggered it. It's an actual inner feeling of loss which creates and attracts similar experiences as the ancestor had in an attempt for your Soul to heal that experience.
Until that experience is seen, acknowledged and healed it will keep replaying itself through a variety of situations, people and circumstances. This can happen through many lifetimes and in future generations, just the same as it was passed to you.
Those feelings for example, of unworthiness, may not even be your own feelings. You may, in fact, be someone who is successful, loving, kind, generous, giving and accomplished, and still feel unworthiness. It may have been something which happened to you as a little child, or in another lifetime or something passed from your ancestor.
A feeling or belief of unworthiness is self-perpetuating. Your subconscious will not allow you or feel comfortable with more than you feel that you're worthy of. Your subconscious attempts to help you since it is irrational (unlike our logical conscious mind), it will create situations attempting to protect you from being hurt.
It will make you feel untrusting, overprotective and defensive. The problem with these feelings are, they do not allow for connection and love, or giving and receiving love fully. They simply armor the fear. Wearing armor is not the most effective way to have an intimate loving nurturing relationship.
The good news is, this is not a life sentence. We now have information and tools, such as ThetaHealing available to us, which can help us to heal ancestral wounds having been passed on generation after generation, lifetime after lifetime. We can now prevent these wounds, the traumas, fears and negative limiting beliefs they created, from going forward to future generations.
In working with Creator In each session, we identify the source where the original root of the trauma was created. When that original trauma is identified and healed with the help of Creator, old negative fearful limiting beliefs are released and transformed immediately into beliefs which support understanding, forgiveness, healing, love, health, harmony and peace and empowerment.
Rather than living your life through the past, you are instantly able to transform your fears and trauma enabling you to live your life in the present and experience truth and freedom.

In theory, the idea of a one shot movie is interesting, but in actuality, I found the film to entrap me as a viewer. I couldn't escape the nameless character I was supposed to be, and instead of identifying with him (the lens), I felt completely disconnected. In a weird sense of limbo (no pun intended), I felt as if I wanted to look at certain objects throughout the museum, but the camera wouldn't let me. I had to see what "he" chose to look at. Although this is true in all films, editing breaks scenes down to allow breathing room.
Another downfall to this style is the simple lack of characterization. Without close-ups, we are left wondering what any of the characters think or feel. We mostly see our guide from behind, rarely given a chance to see who he even is. Everything he says seems to be buried in obscure metaphors, disorienting the viewer even further. The lack of characterization also presents a greater problem: a lack of plot. No conflict. No resolution, simply revelation.
Although I don't think this works as a film, I do think it's a lesson in how grand a movie can be in scope. The presentation of the final scene is one of the most cinematically amazing things I've ever seen. I also like the dream-like characters and dialogue. An interesting idea of what the afterlife could be like. Characters talk in and out of themselves, creating a circular dialogue that could be taken as gibberish or an attempt to explain the human condition. This could be used to great effect, but shouldn't be the entire discourse.
I think this type of film will never succeed in the way a classically edited film can. If one shot is the goal, why not just videotape a play? On the flip side, I think the opening sequence to Snake Eyes is wonderful, actually liberating the viewer rather than entrapping him. Perhaps, then, the key to creating an entire movie in one shot is by using an objective point of view.
