The Buzz Around National Urban Beekeeping Day!
National Urban Beekeeping Day is observed annually on July 19th. For a long time, “backyard beekeeping” in most cities was prohibited but more recently, these bans are being overturned as its environmental and economic benefits are being better understood. Urban beekeeping promotes pollination in urban green spaces, encourages bee diversity, and urban honeybee colonies can even be a sign to apiarists about the ecological conditions in an urban environment. The main challenge is swarming but members of the Colorado State Beekeeping Association (CSBA) can be called upon to safely rescue swarms.

Two more bird flu cases reported in Colorado, but elsewhere a study finds no asymptomatic infections
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials on Friday announced two more bird flu cases among farmworkers, but they also said a new study in Michigan suggested the virus is not causing silent infections in people. Last month, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services launched a study of workers who were around cows sickened by the bird flu. The researchers drew blood from 35 people. One goal was to determine if there were people who never had any symptoms but did have evidence of past infections. None of the blood testing showed antibodies that would indicate such infections, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday. Meanwhile, two more infections tied to a Colorado poultry farm were reported, bringing the total to six. It’s the largest outbreak of human bird flu infections in U.S. history, and accounts for most of the 11 cases reported to date. Ten of those cases occurred this year, all among farmworkers and all with mild symptoms.
