Now, at least one company is going on the offensive. Häagen-Dazs announced this week that it will donate $250,000 to the University of California and Penn State to fund research into colony collapse disorder.

Science is reinventing play, from extreme sports to gamification to ridiculous roller coasters to the playgrounds of tomorrow, and this issue is chock full of fun. Also, on a less fun note: Did global warming destroy my hometown?
What has anyone learned so far about this subject? I'm interested. Not just because of HD...seriously the bees....I have seen TV shows (PBS, etc.) about this.
I am doing a project for school (Biology) on colony collapse and would like to hear from someone who knows what is going on.
Thanks.
