  • Fact Check: NO Evidence That Honeybee Exposure To Aluminum Grew By 800 Percent In 2022

    Fact Check

    Did aluminum exposure in honeybees grow by 800 percent in the year 2022? No, that's not true: This claim, presented without sourcing, seems to pull this fact from thin air. Lead Stories could not find any evidence reporting statistical changes in Honeybee exposure to aluminum in 2022, let alone a ninefold increase in one year and among all honeybees. Honeybee…
