ARS researchers are working to protect bee colonies. They are studying the effectiveness of combining a widely used mite-killing pesticide with an agent that can inhibit the ability of the destructive Varroa mite. These findings open a promising new line of research that may lead to the development of novel remedies to control Varroa mites. Increasing the efficacy of Varroa mite treatments may help beekeepers save time and money while protecting their bee colonies. loom.ly/EGRf85o

Don't forget to spring forward this weekend! ⏰
#KFRMRadio #KFRMNews #SpringForward #TimeChangeDaylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 2:00 A.M., when clocks will “spring forward” one hour to Daylight Saving Time. Most people will set their clocks forward before going to bed on Saturday night, March 7, so they wake up at the correct time Sunday morning. . . but WHY?? 🕑️
Many Americans feel that changing clocks is outdated. In recent years, public frustration has fueled political momentum to make either DST or Standard Time permanent. While Congress has not yet passed legislation for permanent DST, states are taking matters into their own hands, and 29 states are actively pursuing some form of permanent time change.
In the U.S., there are some exceptions to DST that already exist: Arizona (except for the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.
Are you someone who wants to "lock the clock"? Let us know what you think! Almanac.com/states-object-changing-clocks-daylight-saving-time
