Join us for "Fire Ant Week"!
Did you know that fire ants cause significant harm not only to humans, but to the food we grow? Imported fire ants have invaded about 350 million acres in the U.S., and they cause approximately $8 billion in economic damages per year. Learn how ARS is working to stamp out fire ants!
The United States is home to more than 4,000 types of bees responsible for pollinating the crops that feed the world.

To counter that, a group of ARS scientists is working to protect the pollinators. Learn more.
Understanding how desert bees can thrive in harsh environments may enable scientists to help other pollinators – like the honeybee. Download this photo and learn more.
