As the saying goes, summer? Just listen to it!

The sting arrived, and spring officially kicked off. While those sayings may not be accurate about the weather, they carry people's hopes for the new year.

The story behind the sting: Why do critters hibernate?
Speaking of stings, have you ever wondered why critters hibernate in the dark? In fact, it has to do with their body structure and survival strategy.
Imagine if critters were moving around in the cold winter as they were in summer, they might die because they couldn't find enough food or because of the cold.
They choose to hibernate to conserve energy and stay alive by lowering the body's metabolic rate, slowing down heartbeat and breathing. As soon as the sting comes, the temperature warms up, and they can be active again and continue their lives.
Surprise food recommendation: eat pears and welcome spring!
On this day, in addition to interesting customs, there is also delicious food waiting for us. Pears, as a representative fruit of stinging, have a sweet taste. In this season when the temperature is gradually warming, eat some pears to welcome the arrival of spring. Feel the breath of spring!
