We've lost about 1/3 of our bees in this nation and from my understanding they haven't figured out why they are dying off.

Here's some recent news about the bees' disease:

In a paper published on the PLoS ONE website on Wednesday, Oct. 6 (Bromenshenk et al), the mysterious cause of Colony Collapse Disease was revealed: a one-two, pathogenic punch from a virus and two species of fungus. But just which throws the primary hit, and which adds the opportunistic “knock out” punch, remains unclear.

Thank you for the info. Where I live I hardly ever see any honey bees. Two summers ago was the first time I remember seeing any here, I’ve lived here 11 years now. I was a few. Last summer I didn’t see any.
