Andrew Van Dam of the Washington Post is worried about bugs.

I'm worried about bugs.

A while back, I did a story on why our windshields are so suspiciously clean these days.

We used to have to stop on long road trips just to clean the bug

guts off our windshield. Now there's nothing. What's going on?

Bug populations are declining. Exacted or hard to pin down because measure on. rule of thumb is that we could be losing something like 1 to 2% of insects every year.

Millions of bees have been dying and much has been written about how disastrous colony collapse

has been for pollination and thus for agriculture.

But recently, Andrew was looking through some bug census data

and he found something that shocked him.

That despite my existential terror,

America's honeybee population is actually rocketed to an all-time high.
