May 8, 200817 yr This is really sad and could have severe reprocussions.... http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/05/06/disappearing.bees.ap/index.html Something like 32% of the natual bee population died last year. No bees - no fruit.
May 8, 200817 yr Certainly old news, and the good news is that there really isn't a humongous threat (that is to say, the losses are overhyped). It's more typical fear-mongering humbug.

No bees - no fruit. ya remember hearing this last year and thinking wth:confused: And although it may not be the end of the world just yet,it is a mystery how they all disappeared.
May 8, 200817 yr I believe we figured out what caused it. Something about a disease that's found in almost bee colonies that is normally combated by their immune systems. Pesticides and other agents weaken their immune systems to the point where the disease "wins". The infected bees know they are sick and fly away to avoid spreading the disease. Worst case scenario isn't that bad, really. The disease dies as the bees do. At worst crops would struggle for a few years before the population shoots back up.
May 8, 200817 yr Was the news story taken from the BEE MOVIE storyline? I can't bee-lieve (haha) they made an entire anim movie out of this. Very shallow storyline. Kids liked it though....of course.
