🇺🇸 Haidilao hotpot restaurant in San Jose, #California. A dancing robot at a Chinese hotpot restaurant started malfunctioning mid-service, knocking over tableware and continuing to move uncontrollably as staff tried to stop it in front of customers.
Robots and hotpot probably aren’t the best mix.

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.
