Finally enough attention has been brought to the demise of the honey bee population that something is being done about it. It’s not just the honey bee that is in jeopardy, but butterflies, moths, and other pollinators. With $20 billion of crop value at stake in the US alone, the good news has brought a collective sigh of relief to farmers, and the many offshoots of the food industry.
The food service business, grocery outlets, restaurants, and large and small scale caterers all count on the natural cycles within Nature’s food chain to bring the essentials to their trade are feeling hopeful. The pending disaster brought to light a few years ago of not having crops pollinated put all of our food in jeopardy.
We live in interesting times. I recently saw a report on automobiles becoming totally automated. Hello Jetsons! I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not, but there’s no stopping existing projects from moving forward at this point. Driving the highway last night I saw a small 2 car accident. The cars were both bashed, one more than the other, and pulled off to the side of the road.
