They should have menioned the money to ACORN, for the arts, etc. Lot of pork they could have mentioned.

I am all for bees and I agree with you in their importance, but I don’t know what “bee insurance” means, it may not be something to help beekeepers.

No federal money for “honey bee insurance.” I have been a beekeeper but this is more socialism and not what the federal government should be spending money on.

It means that if all the hives in a farm get wiped out, new hives can be brought in to pollonate the crops, and further research will be done to protect the present hives. There *are* kinds of bees that are resistant to what’s killing off the average US bees, and there are “vaccines” that can kill the “mites” that are part of the problem.
