Summary
US honeybee deaths hit a record high, with beekeepers losing over 60% of colonies this winter.
The crisis threatens pollination of key crops and has led to financial ruin for many beekeepers. Scientists cite climate change, habitat loss, pesticide use, varroa mites, and poor handling as potential causes.
The USDA is investigating the latest losses, but Trump-era staff cuts have slowed research, prompting Cornell University to assist.
Despite increased colony numbers from rising beekeeper interest, loss rates continue to surge, endangering agriculture and ecosystems.
Huh, maybe valuing profit over everything else has its drawbacks after all?
What are you, some kind of socialist? Report for deportation to El Salvador to the nearest ICE office immediately!
What a commie pinko thing for that guy to say.
Now, may we all bow our heads and pray. The dollar, the stock, and the crypto spirit.
I’m sorry, I’m on the wrong continent. And I won’t travel to the US even if you gave me a pile of money.
Or to El Salvador.
What country are you in? I’ll put it on the annexation list, right after Canada and Greenland.
Center of Europe, it’ll take a while.
The annexation might be coming from the other side, then. US has also friends, you know
The environment is just for liberal cucks
And for beavers. Are you a beaver or a cuck?
