We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Robert Edwards, the creator of the 'Squatty Potty', has pleaded not guilty to a child pornography charge.
The businessman, who appeared on Shark Tank in 2014, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Feb. 10 and arrested on Feb. 12 in Washington County, Utah, according to the United States Attorney's Office. He was charged with receipt of child pornography and pleaded not guilty in his initial appearance on the indictment.
He is 'married' to a man and has 4 adopted children.
America’s bees and beekeepers are losing a valuable ally just when they need its help most.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to soon close the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, a 6,500-acre agricultural research station in Maryland that is home to the nation’s premier bee research and disease diagnosis hub, the Beltsville Bee Research Lab.
The closure comes at a critical moment for bees. In winter 2025, many beekeepers lost over half their operations as pesticide-resistant varroa mites spread, bringing deadly viruses. The losses have led to low honey production, and soaring fuel costs have made shipping bees cross-country for agricultural pollination increasingly expensive, further stressing the industry.
