where to disapear bees in usa?

Answer 1

"This is certainly the worst die-off that I’ve seen in my experience working with honey bees. It may be the worst die-off that has ever occurred with honey bees since they’ve been introduced into the United States since the 1620s."
- Maryann Frazier, Honey Bee Specialist, Penn State

Linda Moulton Howe has a great article on her website about the disappearance of honeybees in the US ... check it out!

Answer 2

I heard a program yesterday on public radio's "Living on Earth" that discussed this topic. The person being interviewed said that bees may be exposed to an insecticide that causes them to lose their ability to find the way back to the hive. The hives that are dying out are not filled with dead bees. Rather, the bees go out and they don't come back. Surviving bees in these hives have increased populations of microorganisms in the gut. The bees' immune systems may have been compromised, allowing those populations to increase.

The chemicals in question cause the same problems in termites, another social insect. However, the chemicals are intended to kill the termites.

This could become a huge problem, as much of our food depends upon pollinators.
