Around 62% of managed colonies perished in a devastating wave of losses that swept across the US from June 2024 to January this year. In contrast, China saw a 25% increase on the last survey to a record 15 million colonies last year.
The US model relies on large-scale, clustered operations where single apiaries may contain thousands of colonies. China’s apiculture, however, is dominated by relatively small-scale farming and apiaries usually manage under 100 colonies.

9th Circuit Court Overturns Radical DEI Biden Judge Trina Thompson's Ruling — Gives President Trump GREEN LIGHT to Strip Legal Status from 64,000 Migrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal

Well well well. L👀K at the 9th Circuit...
"Thompson also called President Trump a racist, pointing to a truthful statement he made in 2023 where he denounced criminal illegal aliens for “poisoning the blood of our country.” And she accused Trump and Noem without evidence of linking TPS recipients with criminal aliens.
“Color is neither a poison nor a crime,” Thompson said. “The freedom to live fearlessly, the opportunity of liberty, and the American dream. That is all Plaintiffs seek. Instead, they are told to atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood,” she added. “The Court disagrees.”
In a HUGE victory for President Trump and the rule of law, the far-left district court ruling by Biden-appointed Judge Trina Thompson has just been smacked down by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.Jim Hᴏft (Where Hope Finally Made a Comeback)

White male CEOs who "fu**ed around" and voted for Trump to get giant unnecessary tax cuts, to end DEI initiatives, and say the "p-word", and didn't care about the survival of our democracy, are now "finding out" that their companies are tanking because of Trump's tariffs and their customers staying away.

Rejecting conspiracy theories that President Clinton killed Vince Foster, a report out this week from independent counsel Kenneth Starr has officially concluded that Vince Foster took his own life.
Among other things, the report cites evidence that Foster was deeply depressed in the days leading up to his death.
Although the report does concede, Foster was deeply depressed because President Clinton was trying to murder him.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.)"
