Tragic end of a wasp


Hello everyone, after a long time I'm going to post something educational today. Even though my schedule is busy lately there's no way I will abandon this blog. So todays topic is wasps. The first thing comes to your mind when I say a wasp is the pain of their stings, right? But they helps us for our survival on this planet in so many ways that you are not aware of.. Curious? Then keep reading.
Wasp is an insect which is somewhat between an ant and a bee.. It's not an ant, it's not a bee either.Scientifically we say wasp is in the order of Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita. ( You don't have to worry about these scientific terms) A nest of them consists of an egg laying queen and several workers.There are several species of wasps and if I'm going to talk about them I will have to use several weird names which will confuse you. So I will generally talk about all the wasps here. 


Adult wasps feed on nectar but their young ones depend on spiders and small insects so adult wasps spend time on foraging.Many species of wasps pollinate flowers and they eat caterpillars and so many other insects gardners hate. Did you know that wasps actually has a very tragic end ? Billlions of worker wasps die each summer. They work their entire lives feeding the young ones and when the time comes, new queen will leave the nest with her workers leaving out the old workers to die. They fight alone for their lives but they end up dying.. When thinking of it, it's a lot similar to what's happening in our society right now. Isn't it? Children leave their parents when they are strong enough to manage their own lives and come back only for parents funeral. Some people even abandon their parents on roadsides. Show your love to them by being with them when they need you the most, not by giving them roses on particular days. So that's it for today.... Have a nice day friends.. !!

PS : Don't forget to keep some sugary water in your garden for the old wasp workers who are fighting for their survival. It means a lot to them in this summer. Thanks !

How to survive A/Ls in 3 months...

Today is the first of May and there are exactly three months until GCE A/L exams begin. I intend to help people who has realized this and started panicking and feeling lost, but not only A/L students but also any student with any upcoming exam can use these tips to ace your exam. I will first explain why most of us usually wait until the day before deadline to do stuff. It's explained by Parkinson's law which states that " Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". What it means is, if we are given a week to finish a task we will finish it within the week and if we are given an year to finish the same task we will spend the whole year doing it. Well that's how usually us, lazy humans work. Now that you know what happened there is no time to regret about how we procrastinated on unnecessary things etc. Now it's time to damage control. I will not gurantee you will get 3As by following these. (It's possible depending on

As we all know A/Ls is a very tough exam and you will not be able to finish it successfully by just studying.It needs practice,timing and all.So the best way to do it is do exercises and improve knowledge,i did A/Ls in physical science stream and in sinhala medium,so based on my experience i will recommend anyone to use following books.There may be books better than following list,but books below were used by me. Chemistry almost every book by hemachandra basnayaka Akabanika rasayanaya by Aruna Bandara (there are two books for inorganic chemistry,these books will help you in for the doubts you will have in doing mcqs) Akabanika rasayana pilibanda gunathmaka ha pramanathmaka wishleshanaya by Ranga gunarathna(this also will help you in mcqs) Organic chemistry by jayathilaka(this book is very good and it will help you to understand concepts in organic chemistry better) Physics Prof D.D.N balo dayas' books yanthra vidyawa by lakshaman dissanayaka(questionsin this book  are
