Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1030 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY March 3, 2026: ‘STICKY SITUATION: Why Are Florida Bee’s Dying?’ Photography by ZUMA Partner newspaper The Tampa Bay Times Pulitzer Prize winning photo-journalist Douglas R. Clifford: Scientists call it a ‘pollinator health crisis.’ One in three mouthfuls of everything we eat directly or indirectly rely upon honeybee production, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Pollinators contribute over $24 billion to the US economy, $15 billion from bees alone. But domestic pollinators have plummeted for decades, especially native bees. Managed honey bees fell from 6 million colonies in 1947 to 2.5 million today. A phenomenon called ‘colony collapse disorder’ killed 23% of the honey bee population in 2007. In 2022, Hurricane Ian destroyed up to 300,000 beehives. Fewer pollinators pose a serious risk to US agriculture and the economy. Like canaries in a coal mine, bees reflect the health of the environment. The rapid loss of bees over the past decade may signal a decline in the health of the planet, scientists warn, and a symptom of larger environmental problems. Welcome to ‘STICKY SITUATION: Why Are Florida Bee’s Dying?’
February 8, 2026, Milan, Lombardy, Italy: American superstar figure skater ILIA MALININ, 21, (USA) performing his legendary version of the ‘BONALY Flip’, a dramatic back flip started and named after French skater, Surya Bonaly, who famously landed it on one blade at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, when it was still forbidden. Malinin has brought the move back to mainstream attention, becoming the first to land it legally in the Olympics. Ilia nicknamed the ‘Quad God’, is also know for resurrecting the backflip. The flip was successfully completed on Feb. 8, 2026 at the 2026 Winter Olympics Men Single Free Skating competition at the Milano Ice Skating Arena.
March 3, 2026, Ramat Gan, Israel: In a single barrage of Iranian missile fire on Israel, several locations in central Israel were hit. Professionals estimate that cluster munitions were used, a bomb containing numerous submunitions that can scatter over a wide area.
