Our bees are dying.
One out of three commercial bee hives in the US were lost last year due to mysterious circumstances.
Colony collapse disorder is what they call it, and there's no answers in sight. First blamed on mites, speculation has moved on to new bacterias (or revisiting old), GM crops, climate change, and, for all I know, space aliens.
The point is, not enough is being done. We depend on bees for the pollination of our crops. It's time to get a move on.
