A Global Look at Honey Bees and their Role in the Environment
Honey bees are a vital part to the ecosystem. They help by pollinating and also play a critical role in maintaining natural plant communities and ensuring production of seeds in most flowering plants. The BBC reported Beekeeper Gavin Ramsay said: "Scottish native honey bees are a brown bee with a reputation for frugality which helps them withstand even the dreichest of Scottish weather. But, like the Scottish Wildcat, it has been getting increasingly difficult to find good pure examples and if we don't take action to reverse their decline we may see them disappear."

Cattle Poop and Climate Change: A Dietary and Environmental Problem
The amount of methane and greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere continues to build as our annual temperatures continue to increase above average speed.

Farmers in California have found a way to turn their cow manure into fuel for their farm. KAWL.org reported from Bob Giacomini’s family dairy farm north of Point Reyes Station: “We capture the methane, it’s pumped off and pumped up to run the
Music and Dance Can Lead to Pain Reduction, Stress Relief and additional Health Benefits
Music and dance research has opened up different points of view on the health benefits that physical exercise, such as dancing, can lead to when practiced. One of the biggest topics that we cover is music. Some readers might consider music coverage 'fluff' or 'infotainment.' I find that music is a vital part to living a healthy and happy life.

NPR's social science correspondent Shankar Vedantam goes over some of the benefits connected
The Failure of the ACHA is a Reflection to the Keystone XL Pipeline
During the end of President Obama's presidency, he wisely put a stop to the Keystone XL pipeline. This intelligent move of preserving the land and water is one of the better decisions Obama made in office. Along with a potential budget that would defund the Environmental Protection Agency, the Trump administration have recently approved a permit to allow the Keystone XL pipeline to complete the project. Our country needs more regulations for executive orders by presidents. Over the past three presidents the number of executive actions has gone up drastically. We need to decrease these actions moving forward for

YouTube Therapy for Physical and Mental Health
YouTube, a company owned by Google, has no timeline for profitability. Despite not turning a profit as a business, they have created a widely known platform to produce and consume content on. Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, spoke at the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit in Laguna Niguel, California in mid October 2016. "We are still in investment mode." Susan Wojcicki YouTube was founded in 2005, and twelve years later the company is still in investment mode. That is impressive for a long-term plan. As for a short-term investment, I see YouTube to have already provided payback in several avenues. One
