| Checking honeybee health by testing honey DNA
| Commercial and hobby beekeepers lose many bee colonies to disease every year. A Fargo researcher is developing a way to provide an early warning of disease by testing DNA in honey. The lab has been running DNA tests on dead honeybees from across the country since 2016. They started by testing for nine viruses and two bacteria in adult bees. Now they can test for 18 different pathogens. Initially the tests could only identify the presence of viruses and other pathogens harmful to bees. Now the testing can quantify the level of each pathogen in the hive, providing beekeepers with more detailed information about the health of their bees.

| Wave of young, diverse Minnesota politicians see path to power after primary wins
| Fresh off their victories in last week’s primaries, a new generation of young, diverse Minnesota politicians — many of them women of color — is poised to take power at the Capitol in January. The Minnesota Senate is likely to add two senators of Hmong ancestry, two Black women and a Muslim woman, all DFLers, based on their primary wins. Likely new lawmakers also include several young Republicans and a DFLer expected to be the first transgender person to win a seat in the Legislature.
