      Bumblebees were seen repeatedly rolling a little wooden ball
      In a series of experiments, bumblebees were seen repeatedly rolling a little wooden ball, despite having no incentive to do so.
      Much like their human footballing counterparts, younger bees were seen to be busier on the ball than their elders, with some swarming over it 117 times.
      Further tests showed they went for the ball instead of opting for a treat, reinforcing the idea that they are playing the bee-tiful game for pure pleasure.
      Researcher Samadi Galpayage, a PhD student from Queen Mary University of London, said: “It is certainly mind-blowing, at times amusing, to watch bumblebees show something like play.

      “They approach and manipulate these ‘toys’ again and again.
      It goes to show, once more, that despite their little size and tiny brains, they are more than small robotic beings.”

      What time is the two minute silence for the Queen’s funeral?

      by

      THE QUEEN sadly passed away on Thursday, September 8, 2022, aged 96, after she spent 70 years on the throne.Her funeral will be 10 days after Her death, and this is what you need to know about the national two minute silence that will happen in honour of Her Majesty.
      What time is the two minute silence for the Queen’s funeral?
      The Queen’s funeral is set to take place on September 19, 10 days after her death.
      During the 10 days leading up to her funeral, the UK will be going through national mourning.
      Flags on government buildings will be flying at half-mast and there tend to be some cancellations of events and closures of establishments.
      The service will be televised and a national two minute silence is expected to be held at midday.

      How to observe the two minute silence?
      The two minutes of silence are signs of respect and they represent a time for reflection.
      During this time, one can think about how the Queen served the country for 70 years, the longest-ever serving Monarch in British history.
      Read More On The Queen’s Death
      She earned the throne after her father, King George VI passed away on February 6, 1952.
      That was the date when she became Queen, but she was crowned on June 2, 1953, a year later.
      This was because they give time for the Coronation celebrations to pay respect to the deceased Monarch.
      In fact, not even the Platinum Jubilee was celebrated on the day the Queen earned her title.
      Most read in The Sun
      The same will happen for King Charles to officially be crowned and that is why there has been no date confirmed on when his Coronation will be held.
      How can I watch the Queen’s funeral?
      First, there will be a procession in the streets of London, which you can attend and observe from the sides.
      The Queen’s coffin will be carried upon a gun carriage pulled by naval ratings using ropes rather than horses, just like they carried her father’s coffin.
      Members of the Royal family and the military will also be walking along in the procession.
      There are 2,000 guests expected to attend the service while millions are expected to be watching live on television from all over the world.
      Many mourners are expected to show up to pay tribute to the Queen, former counter-terror chief Nick Aldworth said.
      He said: “It’s probably the biggest operation that we’re likely to mount in the UK.”
      In the UK, a number of TV and radio channels will be broadcasting the funeral live.
      These include BBC, ITV and Sky and the BBC iPlayer offers free online live-stream.
      In the US, the funeral will be shown live on NBC News and their streaming service NBC News Now.
      CNN, ABC and Fox News will also be airing the funeral.

      He revealed he has received the full support of his teammates and officials at his Championship club.
      He told Sky Sports: “Now is the right time to do it. I feel like I am ready to tell people my story. I want people to know the real me.
      “I have been thinking for a long time about how I want to do it, when I want to do it. I know now is the time.
      “I am ready to be myself, be free and be confident with it all.”
      The young forward said he no longer wanted to live a lie – after knowing he was gay from a young age.
      Jake said: “I can’t really put a date on it, but I was probably five or six years old when I knew I was gay. So it’s been a long time that I have been living with the lie.

      “At that age you don’t really think that football and being gay doesn’t mix. You just think, one day, when I’m older I’ll get a girlfriend and I will change and it will be fine.
      “But as you get older you realise you can’t just change. It doesn’t work like that.”
      Just one current male player in the world of football has come out as gay — 22-year-old Josh Cavallo, of Australia’s Adelaide United.
      The only prominent male English footballer to have done so was Mr Fashanu, who revealed he was gay in 1990. He took his own life eight years later.
      Other stars — including ex-Aston Villa ace Thomas Hitzlsperger, 40, and former Hull City youth player Thomas Beattie, 35 — came out when their careers ended.
      Amal Fashanu, the founder of the Justin Fashanu Foundation, said the announcement will come as a “huge comfort” to other gay players who have not gone public.
      He said: “The Justin Fashanu Foundation would like to commend Jake for the immense bravery he has shown today by taking this step in making his sexuality public.
      “First and foremost this is an important moment for Jake, and it is wonderful to see that his friends and his family have been so supportive. 
      “If my Uncle Justin were alive I know he would have been one of the first people to have contacted Jake to offer his support and best wishes.
      “Justin’s wish was to create a society where people could simply be kinder to one another and where bigotry doesn’t exist. 
      “Jake’s announcement will come as a huge comfort to the many footballers at all levels of the game – from grass roots to the professional leagues – still secretly living as gay and who still feel unable to come out.
      “I truly hope this announcement marks a turning point and that other footballers, who wish to do so, feel they can talk more openly about the life they lead off the field.”
      In October The Sun told how a gay Premier League footballer has had therapy amid fears of coming out.
      It is a rarity in world sports for men to announce they are LBTQ+.
      Former Wales rugby captain Gareth Thomas came out in 2009, two years before he retired.

      Instagram fan Jack Grealish looking to score with Love Island hopeful after liking beauty’s pics online

      by

      INSTAGRAM fan Jack Grealish is looking to score with a Love Island hopeful — but reeling Manchester City supporters want him to focus on his football.The £100million midfielder, who often shows appreciation for models’ snaps, set his sights on Turkish-born Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu just five days before City’s Champions League collapse against Real Madrid.
      The England and Man City star appeared to appreciate the beauty’s Insta posts

      But fans of the club, where the 26-year-old ballplayer is yet to earn a regular starting place, think he could be distracted.
      One said: “We love Jack but just wish he’d spend more time concentrating on his football than he does on social media.”
      Grealish made his move for Ekin after The Sun revealed ITV bosses were lining her up for a spot in the villa this summer.
      A pal of hers said he was struck by a snap of her in a white swimsuit and another of a glam day out in London.

Grealish is becoming the next Becks, signing with fashion brands like Gucci
      A source said: “Ekin is very discreet and has had lots of famous admirers before but she was quite happy to see Jack liking her pictures. He’s a very good-looking guy.”
      Last year, Grealish, who came on as a substitute in Wednesday’s semi-final thriller, had liked snaps of Love Island’s Lillie Haynes in a bikini.
      He also slid into Love Island star Natalie Zoppa’s DMs — shortly before she split from her long-term boyfriend. 
      The Sun revealed how the England ace also went on secret dates with show winner Amber Gill, 24, at the same time he was seeing actress Emily Atack.

      He and Emily, 32, met at her home and in a hotel but he called things off a few weeks later — leaving her “heartbroken, hurt and humiliated”.
      Grealish has had an on-off relationship with childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood, 26, and is not the first celeb to take an interest in Ekin.
      She counts Towie stars Pete Wicks and James Lock among her 345,000 followers, as well as nightclub owner Wayne Lineker. The actress, 26, splits her time between London and Istanbul.
      A Love Island source said: “Not only is she beautiful, she’s used to being on TV and moves in showbiz circles so she’s sure to bring fireworks. 
      “She’d have no shortage of guys after her.”
