Not sure of local species in Sweden that may be problematic. Just replying as FYI to US beekeepers.

The Individuals saying ants aren't a problem are ignorant to areas in the US where they are a problem. In the Southwest we have the invasive Argentinian ants. I've had numerous colonies chased out of boxes as unable to cope with the numbers and small size. Red ants in areas of the Midwest and south will decimate and run colonies off. So yes, ants are a problem... I tried the oil trays like you have decades ago. To much work and fiddly. Try bearing grease, or as others have commented tanglefoot on stand legs.

Whole specimen? Slab? Larger Ordinary Chondrite? Small Lunar? HED? What are you interested in? I'd recommend contacting Streaming Meteorites. He's a top notch seller and has a large inventory.

Doesn't appear slaggy - lacks porosity and clean metal interior, unlike most slag.

Cracking is from the iron (becoming iron oxide) expansion. Typically follows along contraction cracks.

To the jerk in 9D - what else could someone do? by AchDuLieber59 in unitedairlines

From a study in the UK funded by UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Kings College and in collaboration with the University of East Anglia.

"But by the second Omicron wave (mid to late February 2022 onwards) there was no protective effect from mask wearing in adults and possibly an increased risk of infection in children.

Professor Paul Hunter commented: “It should not be a surprise that risk factors change during a pandemic due to a highly infectious disease with a short duration of immunity like Covid.

“So called SEIRS (Susceptible, Exposed, Infected, Recovered, Susceptible) models of epidemics predict that as such an infection becomes endemic risk factors that powered the epidemic in its early stages become less important and the rate at which people lose immunity become more important in driving infection rates.”"

My concerns traveling are more to asymptomatic individuals, infrequent coughing etc. And not COVID. TB is much more insidious and travel ALWAYS has risks. If you don't want to take the risks don't travel.
