How the Tech Behind a COVID-19 Vaccine is Helping Save Bees
After more than a decade in the industry, commercial beekeeper Liana Teigen Moreno thought she knew what she was doing when it came to making honey. A hipster pixie with a platinum crew cut and bright blue eyes, Teigen tends to 800 beehives in northern Florida. Her experience at the University of Florida’s Honey Bee Research Lab in Gainesville taught her everything she needed to know about bee diseases, knowledge that came in handy late last year when she realized that an insidious parasite that she had first learned about working her way through college as a part-time beekeeper had decimated her hives—despite ...

Beekeepers Working Harder Than Ever As Nearly Half of U.S. Honeybee Colonies Died Last Year
America’s honeybee hives just staggered through the second highest death rate on record, with beekeepers losing nearly half of their managed colonies, an annual bee survey found.
But using costly and Herculean measures to create new colonies, beekeepers are somehow keeping afloat. Thursday’s University of Maryland and Auburn University survey found that even though 48% of colonies were lost in the year that ended April 1, the number of United States honeybee colonies “remained relatively stable.”
Honeybees are crucial to the food supply, pollinating more than 100 of the crops we eat, including nuts,...

What Are Potential Problems of Using Povidone-Iodine?
Discussion
Povidone-iodine (polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine or PVP-I) is one of the most common antiseptics for more than 150 years.

A Skin Patch Shows Promise in Treating Kids ’ Peanut Allergies
WASHINGTON — An experimental skin patch is showing promise to treat toddlers who are highly allergic to peanuts—training their bodies to handle an accidental bite.
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and dangerous food allergies. Parents of allergic tots are constantly on guard against exposures that can turn birthday parties and play dates into emergency room visits.
There is no cure. The only treatment is for children 4 and older who can consume a special peanut powder to protect against a severe reaction.
The patch, named Viaskin, aims to deliver that kind of treatment through the skin instead. In a maj...

Severe Asthma Patients on Ways Their Doctors Could Improve Treatment
Approximately 25 million people in the U.S. have asthma, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
