Pearl millet, an annual grass used for grain and forage, can be a good food source for honey bees and hover flies, according to a recent study. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service and the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences researchers studied the impact of pearl millet as a source of insect food by surveying insects collecting and consuming the sucrose-rich pollen of that crop. Researchers planted Tift Long-Headed Bulk, a type of pearl millet known for its long candlestick-like heads, at a research farm in Tifton, Georgia, during the past summer.

The country is bitterly divided, like we were during the Civil Rights demonstrations and the Viet Nam War in the late 1960s. Family members and neighbors who were once close find themselves at odds concerning politics. There’s a temptation to despair.
