Why are onions getting more expensive in India? 🧅 The answer may begin long before onions reach the market. Nearly 70% of onion seed production depends on honey bees for pollination. But pesticides, monoculture farming and shrinking green spaces are driving bees away — putting future harvests at risk....

The bee connection is the part most people miss - we blame traders for onion prices, but pollination decides seed supply years ahead. Good reminder why every garden needs a pollinator corner.

In most places in the US, you can't trade onion futures. This is because of the the Onion Futures Act of 1958, a U.S. federal law that permanently bans futures trading in onions. As a result, onions are the only commodity explicitly prohibited from futures markets in the United States. The Act came about after an episode in the early 1950s, when onions were actively traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Two men named Vincent Kosuga and Sam Seigel bought up enormous quantities of physical onions, and gained control over storage and distribution. By dominating the available supply, they were able to push prices higher while simultaneously taking large short positions in onion futures, which was a bet that prices would eventually fall. Once their short positions were in place, Kosuga and Seigal released massive amounts of onions back into the market, flooding supply and causing prices to collapse. Accounts from the period describe warehouses overflowing with onions, spoilage accelerating, and farmers unable to sell their crops for prices that even covered transportation costs. The collapse was so severe that some farmers reportedly burned or dumped onions rather than bring them to market.

In freezing Kashmir winters, honey bees weren't supposed to survive. Temperatures drop well below zero, making it impossible for apple melifolia. The key species behind most of Kashmir's honey production to endure the cold. So, every year, thousands of bee colonies are packed into trucks and moved to the planes. A long expensive journey stretching across states like Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. It required manpower, logistics, and constant monitoring. And even then nearly 30% of the bees were lost along the way. But now scientists at CSIR III IM, Pulwama have changed the game. They've developed climate resilient protocols that focus on strengthening bee nutrition and redesigning hives using materials that can regulate internal temperature and humidity. The result, bees surviving sub-zero temperatures for the first time ever in Kashmir. This could mean the end of seasonal migration for beekeepers, cutting costs, reducing losses, and making honey production more stable and sustainable. 📹Imran nissar Reporting: Peerzada Ashiq

Why are the bees disappearing? We’ve been told it’s because of “climate change,” “colony collapse disorder,” or “varroa mites.” But there’s a glaring culprit that few dare talk about… Let’s look at something obvious. Every spring, people rush outside to spray their lawns, conditioned to fear anything that isn’t a bright green turf. Dandelions? “Weeds.” Eliminate them. But did you know dandelions are one of the first vital food sources for bees coming out of winter? And we coat them in POISON. The same companies that sell the sprays also profit from the diseases these plants (and bees!) help prevent. Plants like dandelions support bees and bees support human life. And guess who owns Roundup, the chemical harming both “weeds” and bees and ultimately, us? One of the largest pharma giants…. Bees are doing what Big-Harmya can’t do, and never will do! They can’t patent a beehive… But they can poison, silence, and erase what nature offers for free. The bees are vanishing right under our noses. Protect the bees. Protect your health. Unlearn what they’ve sold you.

There’s a whole community buzzing at the Obama Presidential Center. 🐝 In honor of National Honey Bee Day, meet Janelle, program manager for Westside Bee Boyz and one of the resident beekeepers caring for two colonies of Italian honeybees on campus. Inside every colony, everyone has a role — from worker and nursery bees helping care for the hive to the queen, who can lay thousands of eggs each day. And as Janelle reminds us, honey bees are a matriarchal society — something that has taught her firsthand about the value of female-led spaces. The story extends beyond the hive, too. Native bees help pollinate plants behind roughly one in three bites of food we eat, which is one reason the native plants growing across campus matter so much. Here’s to the bees, the people who care for them, and the ecosystems they help sustain. Happy National Honey Bee Day. 🐝🌼 #NationalHoneyBeeDay #ObamaPresidentialCenter #Pollinators #Beekeeping

You won’t believe what happens when scientists put a turned-on mobile phone next to beehives for just 10 minutes a day…After 10 days of brief daily exposure, worker bees stopped returning home in multiple published experiments. Phone switched off → bees return normally. Phone transmitting → massive losses. These studies (2009–2014) remain hotly debated. Some later research found no effect, others criticized methodology. The science is still inconclusive. Meanwhile: • 35 % of global food crops depend on bee pollination • The US now ships millions of hives on semi-trucks across the country because local bees have vanished in many regions • Australia just launched the exact same mobile-pollination industry Pesticides and climate are known factors. But if even a fraction of the collapse is linked to everyday phone radiation, shouldn’t we know for sure?Replicating this costs almost nothing and takes two weeks. So why haven’t we run large, modern, independent trials on 4G/5G and bee navigation in 2025? Watch the 1:32 clip of the experiment description – decide for yourself. Do you want brand-new, large-scale studies on mobile radiation and bees? Studies (both sides) in reply ↓

This guy makes $82,000 a day selling honey. He started at 12 years old with $300 and one beehive. By the time he graduated high school he was doing six figures a year. Now, he owns 30,000 hives and over a billion bees…. and makes $35M/year in revenue. I met with Blake last year. Here's how his biz model works: He has six revenue lines… • Retail • Wholesale • Pollination services • Beekeeping supplies • Food manufacturing • Hot honey Retail and wholesale is the core. He bottles the honey himself and sells it direct to stores and consumers. His facility runs 1,000 jars an hour. One tote of raw honey (about 275 gallons) is worth $15k and takes half a million bees to fill it. Pollination services runs on top of that. Farmers pay him to park his hives on their land so his bees can pollinate their crops. This brings in extra recurring revenue that’s separate from selling honey. Hot honey is one of the fastest growing food trends right now. It’s honey infused with chili pepper - either sweet or spicy. Blake sells them at a premium and in smaller batches. So they have better margins than straight honey and cost less to produce. Beekeeping supplies and food manufacturing round out the rest. Supplies means gear hives, suits, or smokers sold to other beekeepers. Food manufacturing covers other honey-based products that have higher margins than just raw honey. The numbers: • Revenue: $35M/year • Margins: 15% • Employees: 125 • Bee cost: $2M/year (just to keep them alive) • Facility output: 1,000 jars/hour (at $5 wholesale, $9 on the shelf) • Processing facility cost: $3M to build ($1M of honey sitting in it at any given time) One of the coolest businesses I've seen.

Elon Musk on why the legacy auto industry is stuck in the dinosaur age and driving down the path of extinction: “You can always learn something from a competitor, but strategically, they are just headed in the direction of the dinosaurs. They are not headed for a good place - dinosaurs are not around anymore We are certainly going a very different path. Electric and autonomous driving has been blindingly obvious to me for 20 years plus” Elon points out that it is nearly impossible to force legacy companies to adopt better, more logical ideas. Even when the future is "blindingly obvious," they often refuse to change Tesla’s approach is simple: “We need to do what is sensible and logical. At Tesla, we are essentially creating the future, and it’s a good future.”

Most people are unprepared for what's bearing down on us. The food supply is in serious trouble and it's only going to get worse. The weather in Europe has started hitting food prices. Expect prices to more than double on imports. That's before factoring in oil prices and the increased cost of ttansport. In addition to that, the World's fertiliser supply is down 30%. That means farmers will be limited in the crops they can afford to plant, so less harvests later this year. If you think things are getting bad now, just wait until August September, and that's hoping that the weather will be beneficial to crop growth, which is optimistic when geoengineering, and those behind it, are actively controlling our climate. 🤬

Why Your GROCERY SHELVES Are About To Be EMPTY – Farmers Warn of 2026 DISASTER!! Fertilizer prices have exploded after the Strait of Hormuz shutdown, with 70% of farmers saying they can’t afford what they need. In Ireland, farmers have been shutting down roads and blocking refineries in massive protests against skyrocketing fuel prices. At the same moment, a brutal drought is baking farms, pushing crop yields toward collapse. This is the worst farming crisis in decades and it’s hitting right now during spring planting. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth discusses the coming higher food prices, empty shelves and fragile system as the global food supply is more vulnerable than ever and most importantly what you can do about it NOW before it’s too late!

We are bee keepers in small town in South West Michigan. Our small farm is located within a blueberry field where bees have lots of flower to pollinate. They produce amazing honey from blueberries in the spring time that has rich dark color. A couple weeks ago while I was harvesting honey, one poor bee fell into honey extractor and I could not let this hard working girl die. I rescued her and put her by the hive entry, knowing that her sisters would help her. I ran to grab my phone and decided to capture this amazing scene of how they clean and help her. Unfortunately my phone wasn’t fully charged and I wasn’t able to record whole process and ending, it took approximately 30 minutes for them to clean her and at the end she flew away.

Akshayakalpa has 13 years of data showing that simply introducing bee boxes increases the average coconut yield per farm by 20%. It’s such a massive win-win that they’ve now integrated 7,500 bee boxes across all their farms. Shashi from Akshayakalpa Organic recently brought over two bee boxes for my home to get us started with beekeeping. In this clip (full video in comments), he walks through how incredibly simple it is to set up a bee home, even in smaller or semi-urban spaces. The bigger takeaway here is about how we view sustainability. We often look for grand, complex technological solutions to environmental issues. But the reality is that our survival is deeply tied to basic, interconnected ecosystems. Without pollinators, our food systems collapse; roughly a third of what we eat depends entirely on them. Taking care of them isn't just a good deed; it's an absolute necessity for our own survival. And I think education is the key, which maybe the bee boxes in urban spaces can do. Can’t be prouder of everything that the Akshayakalpa team is doing for improving the quality of life of farmers, their economics, their cows, and everything else.

Every time I speak or listen to Shashi Kumar from Akshayakalpa Organic, I learn something new about food, health, and sustainability. A few things I learned recently: 1. Antibiotic resistance is a global health threat. Due to overuse, germs have become resistant to antibiotics, leading to health complications and deaths. The non-obvious way in which we ingest antibiotics is through dairy and meat. For example, cows that are always tied down tend to catch diseases quickly, and the use of antibiotics becomes necessary to treat them. If a cow is treated with antibiotics, 40% of it shows up in the milk. 2. Death of bees Bees are excellent pollinators, and beekeeping on AK farms has considerably increased coconut yields. Unfortunately, most bee colonies die due to the use of pesticides, habitat loss, and parasites. 3. Loss of organic carbon Organic carbon in soil has dropped to an alarming low of 1%. It needs to be much higher for sustainable farming. The lower the organic carbon content, the lower the fertility of the soil, and the lower the nutrition profile of the produce. An orange from 50 years ago had a much better nutrition profile than today's. For example, one orange from then is better than three oranges today. One way to increase the organic carbon in the soil is to move to more sustainable practices when farming, i.e., organic farming. But today, subsidies on fertilizers and seeds make organic more expensive. Also, consumer support doesn’t exist; maybe if consumers cared about the nutrition profile of what we consume, there would be more demand for organic, and at scale, the price could also drop. AK farms are at 3.6%, took 13 years. We have to change this trend. Maybe it will if younger and more educated folks take up farming and such conversations become mainstream. Farmers definitely need to be able to keep higher margins on their produce and need easy access to credit. AK is trying to solve some of these issues. Akshayakalpa Organic is one of our most exciting partnerships through Rainmatter by Zerodha. Watch this conversation (full conversation on the Rainmatter foundation Youtube channel), where Shashi talks about food, farming, and much more.

“I’m paying $7 a gallon here for diesel fuel.” “My combine holds 140 gallons.” “That’s right at $1,000 to fill up my combine.” For farmer John Boyd Jr., those numbers illustrate a much bigger problem in American agriculture. Farmers are paying more for the fuel, fertilizer, chemicals, equipment, and other inputs they need to produce our food, while concentrated markets leave them with little power over the prices they pay or receive. When those costs keep climbing, the consequences eventually reach beyond the farm and ripple throughout the entire food system. Boyd has been farming for decades and believes, “This is one of the worst economic times in history for America’s farmers.” That should be a warning about the direction of American agriculture. If producing food becomes increasingly expensive while farmers have less control over their markets, we risk losing more independent farms and concentrating even more of our food system in the hands of the biggest players. Dr. John W. Boyd, Jr.

We teach our students entrepreneurship from a young age. This is an annual flea market where students bring their used toys, books and anything they don’t want to school to sell to their fellow schoolmates and even teachers. Before the market starts, we teach them how to advertise, price, negotiate and give change. This way, they can learn the art of buying and selling, get rid of things they don’t want and have fun. These are practical skills and knowledge that we should also give our children in Nigeria. Not all of them, but some of them will find their calling in business and can start at a young age. Our teachers have an instrumental role to play in teaching them, encouraging them and gaining other skills other than just teaching students what is in text books. The online world now is providing more opportunities to do business, and kids should be in this action. It will sow seeds for our future business ecosystem and add more value to our economy.

These are practical skills and knowledge that we should also give our children in Nigeria. Not all of them, but some of them will find their calling in business and can start at a young age. Our teachers have an instrumental role to play in teaching them, encouraging them and gaining other skills other than just teaching students what is in text books. The online world now is providing more opportunities to do business, and kids should be in this action. It will sow seeds for our future business ecosystem and add more value to our economy.

From Uttarakhand to Ladakh & across the border in Kashmir Gen Z is rising. Because when your future feels bleak & your dreams are shattered - resistance knows no borders. These are young people who toiled for a future studied hard, followed every rule and held on to a ray of hope. But now they see the promise of that future slipping away. They aren’t just protesting. They are confronting power with raw truth because the very system they were told to believe in has failed them catastrophically. This isn’t just noise. It’s heartbreak turning into resistance. This is not a rebellion but a cry for survival. They are not asking anymore. They are demanding what’s rightfully theirs - Accountability. Justice. Opportunity. Dignity. It’s a wake up call for our country India, and even neighbouring Pakistan.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: When asked about how 3:15 PM cutoffs and closing auction price spreads are disrupting his algorithmic hedging and intraday risk management, with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) confirming Closing Auction Session (CAS) is permanent, Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities, says, "...If we go through with the CAS-related issues which are giving some kind of uneasiness for option traders... this time option traders, they are mainly affected. The reason is that between this time gap, the prices change a lot, and because of that, most of the time on the day of expiry, especially on the day of expiry, it actually impacts option traders, those who are like writers. Broadly, we are of the view that at present SEBI is holding a lot of meetings with brokers, traders, algo traders, and they are designing their framework... they are ready to make changes as per the difficulties which traders are facing... broadly, I am of the view that it may take some time, but in the next maybe 1-2 months, definitely something will come out concrete, and based on that, again, we can see normalisation in the market... till then, option traders, especially writers or those who are using algorithms, they are trying to stay away from the market because of which volatility has also come down sharply in the market. You can see the market is falling gradually, but at the same time, intraday volatility is very low. Even if we consider Volatility Index (VIX), India's VIX index, that is also close to 11 or maybe 11.5 sort of levels, which is the lowest... it means that option traders are not active in this market. That is why I am of the view that it will take some time to come to normalcy. But eventually, definitely, we will come out with something that will help traders, option traders, I mean to say, in terms of managing their risk. It's not that they can increase their volume and all because our government is primarily focusing on controlling this particular speculative activity... they are trying to control that, and maybe because of that, I think they will come out with something which is very balanced."

I won't say that this movie is playing out before our eyes even though it is and has been for some time. Made for a reason. Made at certain locations for a reason. Real. Who is protecting the pedos for personal gain and who is willing to do the right thing. Not many are so far, Nobody pretty much. Knowingly protecting pedos and criminals sends the world like an unstoppable train on its way to a satanic world order and it is real. We are in it. Someone in the know MUST do the right thing but they have so much (money and power) to lose so they keep quiet. They often blame and defame the victims even. It's bad. Their free will has been used for personal gain and nothing more. Volume up is needed for several parts TY. The odds of Trump being involved in this movie and the situation we are in now are a billion to 1. This was all intentional without a doubt. They're being tested. And they're all failing.
