And if I had to hazard a speculation on how Trump shall be viewed a century and a half from now, I wouldn’t bank on him being vindicated by history.
and perhaps the most racist/genocidal president in history
but I doubt he ever leaves the fourth quartile (unless his fifteen or so next successors are even worse somehow).
The 2-inch long Asian giant hornets have landed in the US for the first time, spotted on the west coast.
Multiple stings are deadly to humans and in their “slaughter phase” the hornets destroy honeybees, whose bodies they feed to their young.Scientists are now on a hunt for the hornets, hoping to eradicate the species before they wipe out US bees.Populations of honeybees and other pollinators in the US were already under pressure. Between 1947 and 2017, number of honeybee colonies in the US plummeted from 6 million to 2.5 million. And last year, researchers from the University of Maryland reported that 40% of the country’s honeybee colonies died in a single winter, between October 2018 and April 2019 - the largest loss of its kind.Pollinators, most often honeybees, are responsible for one of every three bites of food taken in the US, and increase the country’s nation crop values every year by more than $15bn (£12bn), according to the US Department of Agriculture.
An interesting point I saw someone bring up on a reddit thread: honeybees are not native to the Americas, and the over-focusing on saving them overshadows the loss of native species that, while not producers of vast amounts of honey, are the actual pollinators of many native trees, crops, and flowers.
