California provides 70% of the world’s almonds. 🐝🌸 Honey bees pollinate almond flowers making them critical for almond production, which is why we need bee-friendly crop protection products.

"CVS Pharmacy is charging uninsured patients $224.99 for a COVID shot."
That is absolutely absurd. Preventative health care needs to be available for everyone at every income level. Hell, it's less expensive for society than indigent care cases are at the ER.
Fix this.

Some Va. residents can now get COVID shots without prescription
Adults under 65 without a preexisting condition and minors will still need to consult a health care provider before getting the jab.
