The case of the vanishing honeybees - Emma Bryce

In the past decade, the US honeybee population has been decreasing at an alarming and unprecedented rate. While this is obviously bad news for honeypots everywhere, bees also help feed us in a bigger way -- by pollinating our nation's crops. Emma Bryce investigates potential causes for this widespread colony collapse disorder.

It's scary. I had CCD two years in a row, then year 3 I had foulbrood and had to destroy all my hives. Now my orchard is in full bloom, but there's hardly a bee working it. This sucks ass.

Same here. We lost our hives and haven't replenished. We are going to wait a couple of years before getting back into it.
