Holy beeswax!

A new study has been published that shows that a toxin in bee venom can kill the HIV virus.

Scientists hope that this new breakthrough may lead to a gel that can be used to prevent the further spread of the HIV virus.

Here's what one scientist said:

“Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this gel as a preventive measure to stop the initial infection."

That would be crazy awesome!!

We never thought we would say this, but thank the lawd for bee venom!!!

A pod of 61 whales recently beached themselves in New Zealand.

Every time something like this happens, the question arises… do animals commit suicide?

We know that animals can display self-destructive behavior, but do they have the higher cognitive abilities, the self-awareness to decide to end their lives and have some sort of an understanding of the repercussions?

Dolphins, some apes, magpies and elephants can recognize themselves in a mirror, which would suggest self-awareness.

There are stories of a depressed Newfoundland dog who repeatedly let into water, kept his limbs still, and would hold his head under water for minutes at a time.

So sad.

Other dogs have drowned or starved themselves after their owners died. A duck even drowned itself after the death of its mate.

But are these considered suicide? Similar to how a human can contemplate and understand one's own mortality?

Many creatures, like bees and naked mole rats, will leave their colony and go off to die alone whenever they get a disease they could pass along to the colony.

All we know is, there's always an alternative to suicide.

If U ever even consider suicide as an option, we PROMISE it gets better! Call 1-800-784-2433
