Sadly bee social fever can’t quite outrun viruses it seems, even though no one thrives at 37o C.

With deep sorrow we hear that Prof. Jerzy Woyke, Honorary Member of Apimondia, passed away at the age of 96.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

This wolf from Michigan made a truly incredible journey—one that included a brief stop in our area! Just check out the maps and story below...they are pretty astounding.

@MinotHotTots @NWLbaseball Is the tot holding a baseball bat with honey mustard?

@jacoj21 I still vote semi-finals against Georgia southern.

[Garett Slater @slates03]

@NDagriculture @NativeLanguages North Dakota houses 40% of US colonies that supply the majority of pollination services and honey to the US. Yet, North Dakota has zero research program to support them, even though they lose 40% of colonies each year. @NativeLanguages let’s change that!

[North Dakota Ag Dept @NDagriculture]

You can bet we are doing our part to save the honey bees and to #BeeCommitted to our honey producers. Have a look at our map of colonies and you can see it is undeniable. #NationalHoneyMonth could not have been sweeter here in North Dakota.

[Garett Slater @slates03]

@jzulgad Purdue is a tough matchup, so I’m all in if they win next week!

[Colleen Fitzgerald, Senior Vice Provost, Research @NativeLanguages]
