Sadly bee social fever can’t quite outrun viruses it seems, even though no one thrives at 37o C.

This wolf from Michigan made a truly incredible journey—one that included a brief stop in our area! Just check out the maps and story below...they are pretty astounding.
ALT The travels of this "Michigan wolf". We tried to trace its route the best we could and added a few additional annotations to help explain its travels. Many thanks to the Michigan DNR for sharing this map with us. The original map they shared with us (without our annotations) is also provided at the end of this post.
Nothing like a pre-game @surlybrewing in SW North Dakota! Let’s gooo! Write this down @jzulgad: 2 TD by @TheeHOCK8

You can bet we are doing our part to save the honey bees and to #BeeCommitted to our honey producers. Have a look at our map of colonies and you can see it is undeniable. #NationalHoneyMonth could not have been sweeter here in North Dakota.

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.
