Hi Kirk

Do termites actually take the arsenic to the queen?
And do they actually eat wood? I thought they use it as a growth
medium for their fungi gardens.

Well the thought is close, but it is much easier to hook that pipe up to a
methane digester, that the human toilets feed, then use the effluent to
create compost. A man by the name of Arun on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,
I just heard that termite produce a lot of methane. Could you use
termites to produce methane?
Could termites have higher conversion rates?
Maybe termites would allow methane to be produced without heat.
I'm not a regular biofuel guy, so if I've said something completely
ludicrous...
termites do produce a lot of heat, it's for the queen and eggs.

Most of the methane (about 1,000 millions tons a year) is made by
micro-organisms in the mud in wetlands, lakes and sea beds, and
termites and ants produce most of the rest, with cows coming next
