Queer Eye Returns Next Month

Pencil in a cathartic cry for June 5, when season 5 of Queer Eye premieres on Netflix. The Fab Five is packing up their emotional tool-kits and heading to Philadelphia to make over a host of heroes in the area. Can we just say how much we’ve missed Tan’s french tucks and Antoni’s guacamole?

Algae Causes The Ocean In California To Glow

The crashing waves in Southern California are glowing after the sun sets. This week, residents took to social media to showcase the neon-hued shore, caused by colonies of algae that bloomed in March along the coast, The Independent reports.

Instead, the algae provides a vital food source for fish and other mammals during this time.

Mother-Son Rescue Dogs Are Adopted Together

A Wedding at a Drive-In Movie Theater

As wedding plans are altered all over the world, couples are getting creative with their nuptials. Bri and Lindsey Leaverton were forced to change plans for their wedding, originally scheduled for April 10, and instead got hitched at a drive-in movie theater, complete with drive-by parade from their friends and family. BuzzFeed spoke to the Austin-based newlyweds about their unconventional ceremony this week. “It was above and beyond anything we could’ve dreamed of,” Lindsey told the outlet. ”I’m so glad it happened the way it did.

Honey Bees Catch A Much-Needed Break

Though murder hornets dominated the news cycle, CNN reported something positive about the bee community involving one of their own employees. George Montgomery discovered a buzzing sound coming from his ceiling after moving into his Georgia home. Once he realized the noise belonged to bees, he waited three months, worried that jostling the beehive would be too expensive. When he finally called Georgia Bee Removal, employee Bobby Chaisson was able to extract approximately 100,000 bees from the colony. Chaisson told the outlet that an average-sized colony houses about 10,000 to 80,000 bees. Due to his handiwork, the bee catcher was able to remove about 60 pounds of honeycomb, which was melted into wax and donated to a local craftsperson. The bees are now occupying a new hive in North Georgia near Chaisson’s property.
