Summary

The U.S. beekeeping industry is experiencing unprecedented losses, with hundreds of millions of bees dying over the past eight months.

Blake Shook, a leading beekeeper, called it “the worst bee loss in recorded history.”

Researchers remain uncertain about the cause, pointing to potential factors like habitat changes and weather patterns.

Beekeeping operations are struggling to survive, raising concerns about food security and the sustainability of crop production.

    Curiously enough, the dolphins had long known of the impending demolition of Earth and had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger. But most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs, or whistle for titbits, so they eventually gave up and left the Earth by their own means - shortly before the Vogons arrived. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backwards somersault through a hoop, whilst whistling the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’. But, in fact, the message was this “So long and thanks for all the fish”.
