The Masters And North Dakota Honeybees -- April 12, 2025

Locator: 48467GOLF.

As I said yesterday 

The Masters: will be legendary! When golf is good, it's really good, clearly my favorite sport to watch when it's this good. 

The Masters: by many (most?) metrics, Rory McIlroy is a better golfer / has more records than Tiger Woods. Tiger is not yet eligible for the “senior tour.”  Rory is 13 years younger than Tiger Woods.

Rory: first in history to record six “three’s” in  one round. The six “three’s”: two eagles 

Bryson and Rory: final pairing. In final round tomorrow.

Honeybees

From The New York Times.

Nancy and Keith Budke, married 43 years, are migratory beekeepers. They produce honey with the taste of canola nectar, sweet clover and other flowers that their bees pollinate first in North Dakota, then in Texas, after being hauled there by truck, and eventually in California — if the bees make it that far and if nobody snatches them.

This season, the chances of the bees making it to California were much lower. Honeybee colonies are under siege across much of North America. And the Budkes, owners and operators of Budke Bees, a small commercial beekeeping business, know it all too well. Parasites, loss of habitat, climate change and pesticides threaten to wipe out as much as 70 percent or more of the nation’s honeybee colonies this year, potentially the most devastating loss that the nation has ever seen.

A ten-minute read.
