Fat Donny’s clowns have enough money for parades, unneeded tanks and golf trips, but there just isn’t any money to track catastrophic decline of honey bees, which affects us ALL.

In yet another salvo in their war against science and scientists, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that it’s suspending tracking

the plunging honeybee population because of a budget shortfall.

Agriculture Department Suspends Critical Tracking Of Plunging Honey Bee Population

The number of honey bee hives, vital to pollinating crops for the agricultural industry and other plants for wildlife, plummeted from 6 million in 1947 to 2.4 million in 2008. The worst honeybee hive loss on record occurred last winter as beekeepers reported a 40% loss of their colonies over the year. 

Critics say the USDA’s move is the latest evidence of the Trump administration’s war on science, and its goal of suppressing information about serious environmental harms increasing under Donald Trump’s presidency.
The Obama administration in 2014 launched a program to address declining bee populations — but Trump has been working to reverse those directives. Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency lifted restrictions on a toxic insecticide known to be particularly lethal to bees on some 16 million acres in the U.S.
The USDA statement on cutting the program referred to fiscal restraints, but did not detail budget shortfalls nor did it reveal the cost of the program. The USDA is currently arranging to pay farmers an extra $27 billion in subsidies since 2018 to mitigate the effects of Trump’s trade war.

Screw Fat Donny and the ignorant sheep he rode in on.
