One that didn't make the cut, solely because it was 900 pixels wide: The Periodic Table of Elephants. Too wond'rous not to include somehow. Anyhow. ( 51 pics below.... )

Secrets of the honey bee revealed in genome code | Tech&Sci | Science | Reuters.com
With its highly evolved social structure of tens of thousands of worker bees commanded by Queen Elizabeth, the honey bee genome could also improve the search for genes linked to social behavior.
Awesome.
Queen Elizabeth has 10 times the lifespan of workers and lays up to 2,000 eggs a day. Despite having tiny brains, honey bees display honed cognitive abilities and learn to associate a flower's color, shape and scent with food, which increases its foraging ability.
I think I adore this on every conceivable level.
