Scientists still are unsure what caused the massive decline in bee populations last year. It could be part of a natural cycle or the result of something more insidious—but one thing is clear, both food producers and consumers will suffer if the drop continues.
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.
