grateful to report that all staff in impacted areas are safe. The most problematic aspect of the storm for my region was the storm surge, as water levels rose over 6 feet in an extremely short period of time, causing every body of water connected to the Gulf of Mexico to overflow. Such an event has not happened in over 100 years when the population was a fraction of what it is now, so naturally, the infrastructure here was not prepared to handle such a catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers are with the thousands of people who lost everything.
The estimated economic impact is unknown. AccuWeather believes the figure is around $160 billion but that is simply from the initial impact. I can tell you right now that it will take many months for the Tampa Bay Area to recover. Over 3 million homes and businesses lost power across Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and even Virginia. Millions are still without power at the time of this writing. The entire state of Florida is dependent upon the hospitality sector, and thousands are now out of work. Countless small businesses simply will not walk away from this tragedy.
My area looks like a post-apocalyptic horror film. The beach areas have been utterly wiped out; the businesses and restaurants that were once there simply no longer exist. Areas that were not in traditional flood zones experienced water damage and countless homes and businesses are simply uninhabitable. If you dare to drive around as half the
traffic lights are down, you will see hundreds of homes with all of their furniture and possessions on the front lawn as nothing could be saved. Those living on barrier islands were trapped in their homes without power or water for days.
Individuals were taking out boats to conduct their own rescue missions throughout the area. I will say there has been a strong sense of community as everyone is coming together to rebuild. All the divisiveness prior vanished for a brief moment as people saw one another as neighbors in need, and there was an outpouring of compassion that is rarely seen in today’s society.
The economic impact truly cannot be calculated at this time, but the devastation has been massive. Over 100 people have lost their lives, and search and rescue missions remain ongoing. We greatly thank those of you who took the time to write in and offer condolences and prayers. The AE website will be back up and running as soon as possible,

What is the difference between Italian and Russian bees?
Italian and Russian bees are both excellent breeds for beekeeping, although they have a tendency to swarm. Each race of bee is hard-working and can produce large amounts of honey in the right conditions. Italian bees are less aggressive and easier to requeen but are more likely to rob. The Russian breed overwinters well and has good resistance to varroa mites and other pests.
1. Appearance
The Italian bee has yellowish-brown bands on a brown abdomen. The queen is often a darker shade of orange or leathery brown, making it easier for beekeepers to spot her in the hive.
Pure Russian honey bees are typically a black or dark brown shade with pale yellow stripes. But if the hive requeens, she could mate with other drone breeds, which will alter the appearance of the colony.
2. Origin
Researchers believe Italian bees originated from the southern region of Italy. In 1859, Italian honey bees were introduced to America, where they soon replaced German bees. Italian bees are now on every ...
“Whoever controls the food supply controls the people.”
Society can only survive and fully function with a robust and ample food supply & security. All roads lead from that. That’s why supporting farmers and farming is probably the most important campaign in this era. Without food (ideally fresh & local) societies crumble and public health diminishes.
Over the past 40 years, many of our public and essential assets have been sold off or plundered for corporate greed. Land is one of the last remaining asset grab battles. Support our farmers. Our food supply depends on them.
