Are The Bees Okay? USDA Bee Colony Numbers Disputed

On today’s show, award winning, investigative journalist Rebecca Raney of U. S. Right To Know on her latest reporting of the fudged numbers surrounding the nationwide bee population.

In her article entitled, “Are the Bees Okay or Not.  USDA Bee Colony Numbers Disputed”, Rebecca Raney states:

“Beekeepers and honey producers are disputing a federal honeybee census estimate of 3.8 million colonies in the United States in 2022 – a record number for the nationwide count. That estimate showed a 35 percent increase from the estimate of 2.8 million colonies in 2017. The report drove headlines claiming that U.S. bee farms are “buzzing” and that bees are “flourishing again.”
