Did you know that yesterday was World Bread Day? Today, bread can be bought almost everywhere (at least in our part of the world), but for a large part of our history, it was a luxury item. A large one, meaning how long, exactly? Have you ever wondered when bread was invented?

Termite mounds, although they may look simple from the outside, are in fact extremely complex structures equipped with their own... air conditioning system.

Bees are not only pollinators, without whom our world wouldn't be the same. They are also other incredible architects in the insect world! Like termites and wasps, they build their nests through hard work.

The insect world is full of builders capable of creating precise structures. One such example is wasps. Their delicate nests, constructed cell by cell, protect the queen and new generations of young.

Over the next four weeks, we'll be introducing you to Six-Legged Engineers—insects that mastered construction techniques long before humans. In the final article in this series, we'll explore one such structure—larger than a human, which you can see at our exhibition. We won't reveal the structure now, but some of you may already have an idea.
