TODAY IN HISTORY
On this date:
In 1865, eight people, including Mary Surratt and Dr. Samuel
Mudd, were convicted by a military commission of conspiring
with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham
Lincoln.
In 1934, Adolf Hitler launched his “blood purge” of political
and military rivals in Germany in what came to be known as
“The Night of the Long Knives.”
In 1971, the Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, that the government
could not prevent The New York Times or The Washington
Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers. A Soviet space
mission ended in tragedy when three cosmonauts aboard
Soyuz 11 were found dead of asphyxiation inside their cap
sule after it had returned to Earth.
In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner
were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days.
In 1977, President Jimmy Carter announced he had decided
against production of the Rockwell B-1 bomber, saying it was
too costly. (However, the B-1 was later revived by President
Ronald Reagan.)

Why honeybees are facing
record losses across the U.S.
Honeybees are fun to watch collecting
pollen and enabling rich plant growth in
the process. Their work is vital to our food
crops. Last winter, though, set a nationwide
record for greatest colony losses, according
to the Bee Informed Partnership run by the
University of Maryland. Flowery Branch
beekeeper Bob Bradbury agrees. “We
were down to 3 hives out of 20 at winter’s
end,” Bradbury said. “In 2018,1
bought 11 nucs to produce a total
of 20 hives, which cost $3,000, to
make up for the 2017 losses. This
year, we had to start again with a
massive rebuild.”
Nucs are small starter colo
nies which beekeepers use to
populate a hive and get honey
production going. But the hives
are increasingly vulnerable to
invasion from pests, particularly
the varroa mite. This tiny spi
der transmits disease to the bees, leading
to decimation of the hive until the queen
finally decides to pack up and leave, along
with her remaining workers. Whether they
find a safer home is questionable. Karla
Kiefer, a non-commercial beekeeper in
Baldwin (and present author’s wife) faced
total loss of her hives at the end of 2018.
“We fumigated using the traditional oxalic
acid method, which kills mites but not
bees,” Kiefer said. “It failed. The new
colonies will be watched even more closely
this year, and we’ll try some new products
to counter the threat.”
The rural environment of Banks County
presents a safer environment for honey
bees than increasingly urbanized Hall
County, especially where subdivisions
are appearing at a record rate near the
Gwinnett boundary. “Lawn services who
apply mosquito treatments are a particular
threat to pollinators like bees,” Bradbury
explained. “Chemicals that kill mosquitoes
will get honeybees too. Also, the
varroa mites seem to be getting
resistant to fumigation.”
The situation isn’t as grave
as in California, where wild
fires and quirky weather have
produced catastrophic losses.
“It’s not just that the price of
honey keeps going up,” said
Kiefer. “70% percent of all
plants depend on pollinators to
reproduce or produce food. Loss
of bees means higher prices every
where in the grocery store.”
Beekeepers throughout Georgia are
working hard to counter this threat. A visit
to farmers’ markets in Flowery Branch and
Suwanee will give you a chance to learn
more in person from Bob Bradbury, and
sample superb honey produced right here
in North Georgia.
Rudi Kiefer, Ph.D., is a professor at Brenau
University, teaching physical and health
sciences on Brenau’s Georgia campuses and
in China. His column appears Sundays and at

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
There’s no time to waste in
such unproductive practices
as placing the blame, ducking
responsibility and punishing
the guilty. You’re far more in
terested in figuring out howto
work together.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Only the most confident will
actually ask how they’re do
ing. It takes courage to solicit
feedback! Even if you don’t ask
directly, pay close attention
to the effect you’re having on
others. Their reactions are your
best teachers.
GEMINI (May 21-June21). You
make decisions so quickly
others assume you’re going
with your gut. It’s far more
intricate than that. You have
an elaborate (though mostly
subconscious) way to process
information, and it’s right on
the money today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The social demands of the day
involve a certain effusiveness
that’s right in line with what you
love to deliver. Even so, after
all the excitement, you’ll need
time to recharge and be alone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The art
of negotiating is your forte.
You’ll think of uncommon and
brilliant ways to make a situ
ation work. Where there’s an
agreement to be struck, you'll
do it with style.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Keep
a journal and suddenly you’re
a journalist! Draw a picture and
you’re an artist. Make people
laugh and you’re a comedian.
You’ll be so many things over
the course of this day, and
people love the surprise of you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). There
comes a point in every venture
when there’s nothing more
you can do or are willing to
do to influence the outcome.
There’s a strange mix of relief
and apprehension that comes
in the moment you leave it to
the fates.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Keep to your course. Stay in
good spirits. Treat yourself
well. Do what it takes to remain
flexible, strong and ready. Suc
cess will soon be yours.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Maybe you don’t feel com
pletely understood, but this is
a process. People want to con
nect with you. As you relate to
more people, you’ll figure out
how to put yourself across so
they learn quickly who you are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). What sets you apart from
the competition is the atten
tion and specificity you give
to your pursuits. You apply
highly selective criteria to the
choices you make, and this
elevates your work to the level
of artistry.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
If there’s one thing to do for
yourself to make your life more
enjoyable, less stressful and
better all around, it’s to get
excellent and plentiful sleep.
There are actually many steps
needed to make this happen,
all doable.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Instead of fixing what’s broken,
you’ll focus on what works re
ally well, and you’ll maximize
the potential there, making that
thing so completely awesome
that it overshadows all the rest.
