Chip will help track killer bees heading to u.s.1 -1 r t a f 1 i to ,-.i. 3fiiby the new York times engineers for the Martin Marietta corp. Have developed a Silicon Micro Chip they believe will prove useful i tracking the Strain of killer bees that have been migrating northward through the americas since 1957. The bees arc descendants of Queen bees imported from Africa that escaped from a Laboratory in Brazil. Swarms of these Africani Zed bees Are expected to reach the Southern United states during 1989. It is feared they might infiltrate Colo Nies of More docile european bees disrupting beekeeping operations. The Chip which has not been tested in the Field Cyl can be glued to the Thorax of a Bee. 11 weighs about 35 milligrams so it Short old not affect inc Bee s ability to Fly said Kelly falter a member of the team that created the microchip. It contains its own Power source an array of miniature solar cells As Well As laser Diode transmitter that can Send Sig nals to ground based receivers up to a mile away. These signals will provide scientists with information about the Bee s mating and foraging flights. The information May indicate ways in which these habits can be modified and the bees proliferation slowed. The device developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee where killer bees Are found mountains form natural Barrier against african killer bees projected paths Olywa Mexton atty where Mexico and us a plan to strengthen european bees South   has been designed mainly to track Queen bees which make Only one mating flight lasting Between 14 and 20 minutes Dur ing a lifetime. The Queens would be caught in flight and the microchip attached to enable scientists to follow their paths. Male bees or drones spend much of their time out Side the hive and have been monitored extensively through tags radar and Aeri Al traps. Or. Orley Taylor a professor of entomology at the University of Kansas who is involved in the project said scientists need some Way of absolutely tracking Queens because they Are chiefly responsible for reproduction of the species. Taylor also pointed out that the Afri Canizer bees Are not As most people be Lieve aggressive but really very very defensive and extremely protective of the hive1." this behaviour combined with lower Honey output and inc increased costs associated with isolating Africani Zed Bee within a Colony makes them ill suited for commercial beekeeping.

Nasa to launch Telescope into space next year  a t/l1 Mill inn Hilt help in Del Alvs Washington a the space shuttle launch of inc Hubble space Telescope will be moved Forward from february 1990 to december 1989, the National aeronautics and space administration announced tuesday. A Nasa release said the change was made possible after a reassessment of the space shuttle launch schedule and payloads. A Nasa spokesman however said plans Call for a defense department shuttle flight thai had been set for december 1989 to switch places in the flight sched ule with the Hubble launch enabling the Telescope 10 get into space two months earlier than previously planned. Experts believe the Telescope will be Able to study stare and galaxies More than 14 billion Light years from Earth and to capture images of inc universe that Are much clearer than those seen by ground based telescopes. Nasa originally planned to the launch the Hubble in 1985, bul the Date slipped to the fall of 1986 and then was delayed because of the january 1986 Chal Lenger Accident. Originally the development costs of the Hubble were estimated at $435 million bul. Due to delays and other problems the costs through june 1989 Are now estimated at si.5 billion. A space shuttle will carry the Telescope into an orbit about 360 Miles above the Earth the Telescope is designed to transmit its observations to Earth for about three years. A shuttle would then visit the Observatory to replace batteries and to make repairs if needed. The Telescope also would be boosted into a higher orbit As needed to keep it from falling to each
