Just like the bees, the ‘Beepocalypse’ myth isn’t dying
On World Bee Day, let’s set the record straight. It has been seven years since the Washington Post famously dispelled the myth of a catastrophic bee decline in an article titled “Call off the bee-pocalypse: honeybee colonies just hit a 20-year high.” The piece was one of many attempts to underline that pollinators are not under threat, […]

Elle avait tweeté: “Mon premier déplacement durant la campagne #NUPES sera donc sur la circonscription où LREM investit Manuel Valls. Arrivée à Valencia vendredi !” Elle […]
