USGS Honey Bee Research
The USGS researches land use and honey bee health in the northern Great Plains. This research will be useful in equipping land managers and policy makers with the best-available science to improve forage and habitat for pollinators in a part of the country that is undergoing rapid land-use change.

Separating Water from Agglutinate
When the water is separated from the cooled molten rock, agglutinate is collected.
__________
The USGS has created man-made moon dirt, or regolith, to help NASA prepare for upcoming moon explorations. Four tons of the simulant is expected to be made by this summer of 2009 and turned over to the scientific community involved in lunar exploration.

Rema Stove
This is a "Rema Stove." It was invented by Bill Rema and the design was never patented. This is likely the only remaining stove of its kind. Dr. J. D. Love added a few elements, but it is essentially built to the original specifications. This stove was used extensively by USGS field scientists.
