And you know what Fridays are awesome. 3

Welcome to the first Friday broadcast of our 2019 fall season. 4

We have a CNN hero lined up for you today. 5

We have something that could keep acrophobic up at night, but first we have bees. 6

Or, more accurately, we don't. 7

Honeybee populations in the United States have been decreasing dramatically over the decades, and a new study suggests that a certain kind of pesticide could be making things worse. 8

Back in 1947 there were six million honeybee hives in America, according to the U. 9

S Department of Agriculture. 10

Now there are a little over two and 1/2 1,000,000 hives. 11

That number hasn't changed much over the past few years, but the overall picture doesn't look good for an insect that's incredibly important to our food supply. 12

Scientists don't know for sure why this is happening. 13

Pesticides and parasites are the most suspected reasons, and a study recently published in the Scientific Journal Plus One suggests that neo nicotine oId types of pesticides that are widely used around the world are incredibly toxic tau, honey bees and other insects. 14

Part of the reason for That is because these pesticides appear to stick around in the environment and stay dangerous for longer periods of time. 15

Though they're deadly, the insects neo nicotine oId are not considered dangerous to humans. 16

In fact, they're a lot less toxic to people than other insecticides that have been widely used in the past. 17

An ongoing challenge for formers. 18

It's finding ways to keep other insects away while still protecting bees. 19

Pesticides may not discriminate between the insects they kill. 20

The one neo nicotine oId maker says the chemicals risk to bees is lower when it's used properly. 21

The U. 22

S Department of Agriculture says it's unlikely there's one magic solution to the problem. 23

But there are a number of organizations trying to help honeybees. 24

Bees are responsible for pollinating 1/3 of all crops worldwide, and populations are declining, impacting the nearly $20 billion they contribute to US crop production. 25

In fact, this past winter saw the highest honeybee colony losses on record. 26

But the company be Flo thinks they can give Bea's a boost with a special nutrient packed superfood formula they say improves their performance and immune system. 27

Some people say we're doing super V's. 28

We say we are developing strong on smart beef. 29

Feed the bees the formula and they can work longer and in colder temperatures helpful for crops like these almond trees in California, which have short pollination windows very close from here. 30

We've done a trial where we see that our bees were doing seven times more flights under really cold temperatures with no automated way to monitor B performance be flow Team spends hours each day staring at trees counting bees. 31

We know how many visits the flower requires to develop a fruit off exercise in Argentina. 32

Their trials increase crop yields up to 90% and made fruit like these blueberries and Oregon 22% bigger. 33

At the moment. 34

Beef Lo knows it can't address every issue impacting these. 35

There's a lot of questions that are still waiting for answers on. 36

We think that this is justice. 37

Start off our journey or pollination that has Bean underestimated by the agriculture industry. 38

12th Trivia. 39

Which country occupies the western third of Hispaniola, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica or Aruba? 40

On the Caribbean island of Hispaniola? 41

It's Haiti that's on the West. 42

Political instability and natural disasters like a catastrophic earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 have had a lasting toll of the country. 43

But even amid violent protests and extraordinary poverty, a CNN heroes working to transform a dangerous neighborhood into an oasis inside of the garden it's joy, happiness and peace. 44

But behind the swole, it's a different story. 45

We've been trying to get a core down in Haiti four months, but it's always something on West against hunger, against the ways the costs off well in the country, um, were fighting against each order, barricading, blocking the sweets with tires on fire. 46

It's hard for the Children to go to school. 47

We kid let the Children of Haiti lose the only thing that they have left. 48

Which is there? 49

Hope? 50

12 years ago, and citizen Les I started a community center for peaceful alternatives where kids have a safe space to be Children. 51

You see an alternative to all the suffering that this community is experiencing. 52

When we started there wasa big landfill next to the little soccer field, we get the kids were the parents to come and help turning it into a garden where the Children would feel that's beautiful. 53

Control relate to the smooth jackal way collect tires that burn and the sweets for Portis, and we use them as splinters. 54

Luketic asking that exact I ago. 55

Happy loving, possibly facile People eat form what they actually grow. 56

Take it back. 57

No back up. 58

Gasping rogues, separate systems, way open or community library toe all the school's way have the anger management program where we try to live in sport to help kids managed to anger all program. 59

It's all about youth development, much of a newsman. 60

Many people in Haiti referred to see this away as the trash place where all the dumps are. 61

What I see. 62

Angel's where people see this, I said. 63

This kid's with potential, with the wings hiding in the back, waiting like to fly. 64

I started this to provide a voice to the voiceless. 65

The new Haiti will start, incidentally, and we can't wait to see this happen. 66

People have written about walking on eggshells. 67

Air sunshine. 68

How about walking on glass? 69

Hopefully not broken glass When it comes to this 1800 foot long walkway in southern China, it's a new part of a tourist attraction that also features scenic waterfalls and a restaurant in the cave which still ag might be pretty good. 70

You know what I'm saying? 71

The walkway cost about a $1,000,000 to build, in case you're thinking about putting one in your backyard. 72

Even if you could foot the bill, it would be a jaunt ing task right out of the gate. 73

You wouldn't want to ramble on too long. 74

What, you got your marching orders to keep pace and hit your stride? 75

You'd have to be willing and amble to take steps to raise the money and stretch or even hike your budget for plans to crystallize and carriage the project across the finish line. 76

But, hey, at least you wouldn't have walked away from a challenge. 77

Carla Zoos in that CNN, okay?
