Puppets
Puppets have been used for
centuries in Indonesia to tell the
stories of the ancient epics, the
Ramayana and the Mahabarata, as
well as ancient myths. Modern stories
also utilize this ancient art form for
contemporary audiences.
Puppets fall into two major
classifications, wayang kulit the
leather or shadow puppet
of Central Java, and wa yang golekwooden puppets of West Java. There
are several varieties of wooden
puppets. Some expatriates enjoy
collecting the same character by
various artisans, or all the characters
in a scene or story, or just characters
that strike their fancy. Good guys, bad
guys, gods,demons, nobles, giants,
clowns, princes and princesses and
monkeys, all can be found in
traditional puppet forms. Less
commonly seen are the Wayang Klitik,
a flat at wooden puppet.

Bees are flying insects closely related

to wasps and ants, and are known for their
role in pollination and for producing honey
and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000
known species of bees in nine recognized
families though many are undescribed and
the actual number is probably higher. They
are found on every continent except
Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet
that contains insect-pollinated flowering
plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a
complex "tongue") that enables them to
obtain the nectar from flowers. They have
antennae almost universally made up of 13
segments in males and 12 in females, as is
typical for the super family. Bees all have
two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the
smaller of the two; in a very few species,
one sex or caste has relatively short wings
that make flight difficult or impossible, but
none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a
stingless bee whose workers are about
2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the
world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee
whose females can attain a length of 39 mm
(1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or
sweat bees, are the most common type of
bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though
they are small and often mistaken for wasps
or flies
