The plight of the honeybee has received quite a bit
attention in the media lately and for good reason. Honeybees are directly
responsible for, or help in the pollination of 30% of the food we eat. Since 1990 the honeybee population has
dropped by 25%. Researchers are calling this Colony Collapse Disorder and are
trying to determine the causes.
