Exotic strains, such as giant bees and wasp-fighting bees from Asia, may contribute new, valuable qualities to the U.S. bee population...

Heparin is a substance in the liver and lungs first isolated in 1916; dicumarol is found in spoiled sweet clover (its anti-clotting property was first discovered when it was found that cattle feeding on it sometimes bled to death). Both drugs prevent clots from forming...
