@MattSmithKIRO7 We appreciate you diving into the plight of the honeybee - months before murder hornets captivated the headlines!

Those are some rainy day bees! Well, actually it was a slightly snowy day in February when we quickly popped our hives open to treat them for varroa mites and talk about the asian giant hornet with @MattSmithKIRO7

Earlier this year I spent time with beekeepers who say — they’re exhausted. The Asian giant hornet is just the latest in a LAUNDRY LIST of issues that are killing off bees... and whether you know it, or not, that will affect the food on your table. 2/

Tonight at 6p on @KIRO7Seattle, we go beyond the hype of the #MurderHornet moniker... the Asian giant hornet spells trouble for Washington state — and while it carries a scary new nickname, the focus may shift in the coming months to agriculture. 1/

This innovation panel at #foodtank is making me think of the awesome work that BetaHatch is doing with bugs as food for meat!
