That's Andy Griffith with Aunt Bea. You may remember his show for starring child actor Ron Howard, and having the catchiest theme-song in the history of television (the whole thing was whistled).

Ah, I heard of it, but I don't think it has been shown over here... not in recent times, atleast.

According to some, early bees were carnivorous. (Though they didn't live a million years ago, much less over a hundred million years ago).

"Note: this topic is from 10/30/2006. "
So, the bee is now 100,000,005 years and two days old?

I had a friend who taught his cockatiel to whistle that theme song. Very, very cool.

Also embedded in the amber are four kinds of flowers. "So we can imagine this little bee flitting around these tiny flowers millions of years ago," Poinar said.
Somewhere I have a beautiful little leaf I found in amber I got in the Dominican Republic. It's sort of heart-shaped, about 3/16" long with serrated edges. I have (or had unless someone swiped them) other pieces from there with ants and termite wings.
