  1. Saving the bees, one vaccine at a time.

    “This is an exciting step forward for beekeepers, as we rely on antibiotic treatment that has limited effectiveness and requires lots of time and energy to apply to our hives,” said Trevor Tauzer, owner of Tauzer Apiaries and board member of the California State Beekeepers Association in a release. 

     

    “If we can prevent an infection in our hives, we can avoid costly treatments and focus our energy on other important elements of keeping our bees healthy.”

    ......

     

    The vaccine contains killed whole-cell Paenibacillus larvae bacteria. To vaccinate the bees, the vaccine is mixed into queen feed, which is consumed by worker bees. These worker bees then incorporate the vaccine into royal jelly and feed it to the queen.

     

    Once ingested, fragments of the vaccine are deposited in the queen’s ovaries, meaning developing larvae have immunity when they hatch, researchers explained. In the laboratory tests, researchers saw an up to 50 percent increase in disease resistance among offspring. 

     

     

    Do you think anti-vaxxers, anti-gmo, Peta, etc. complain at all?

    Tackling the most pressing issues.

     

    The time between manufactured outrage over non-issue and introduction of unnecessary legislation has gotten pretty darn short. I suppose it involving gas companies probably helps it along.

     

    You have to remember that the #1 priority for Republicans is feeding red meat to their base, while actually governing is way down the list.  

     

    I can't wait for the debt limit circus that should be starting next week 🙄

    NY Dems are just garbage. How did they lose to this guy??

     

    By ignoring his opponent yelling these things from the rooftops.

     

    Honestly, the entire NY democratic leadership machine was 100% focused on ensuring Hochul prevailed over Zeldin to become the first women governor ELECT, all other races be damned.

    Santos, the newly elected NY rep is just an astonishing liar, even by Republican standards. He makes Trump look like a saint. He’s claimed to be biracial, that his family died in the Holocaust and had to change their names when they immigrated to America, and that his mother both died 5 years ago and died on 9/1. Just incredible. He will be Trump’s running mate in 2024. 

     

    He is getting killed in local media.  Refuses to respond to anyone's inquiries.
