Rank of a breakthrough new vaccine for honeybees approved by the USDA to prevent foulbrood disease, a fatal bacterial disease that can destroy entire honeybee colonies. The global food supply relies on honeybees for pollinating critical crops. The vaccine is mixed into worker bees’ food. The honeybee queen then eats royal jelly produced by the worker bees, ingesting the vaccine and becoming immune to the disease. The vaccine will be available this year.

Germany is the leading producer of eiswein (icewine) in the world.

Answer: False.

That would be Canada. Eventhough icewine represents just 5% of Canada’s wine production, the country makes more of it that anywhere else in the world. In Canada, as in Germany and Austria, icewine (or eiswein as it’s spelled in German) must be made from grapes frozen naturally on the vine and picked by hand, grape by grape. More than 95 percent of Canada’s icewine is made in Ontario.
