I heard that the bee population is half what its supposed to be. Are there any theories. What effect would there be on the environment if bees when extinct?

I think it was the Bee Rapture. The insect messiah rose from the dead to take all of his little workers and drones home to the big hive in the sky.

Why leave the governmental conspiracy out?
The bees are dead because in the governments attempt to eradicate the africanized bees by introducing an altered virus that was originally designed to kill the africanized bees, they didn't account for the fact that virus mutation happens quite frequently, and the virus must have mutated to kill the regular bees as well.
In reality, this question is probably going to remain a mystery.

It's a virus. The whole idea of an infected bee in a colony, could be comparable to one infected traveler in an airport, spreading the virus across the world.. Watch 28 Days and weeks later.. All it takes is one infected bee in a colony and the entire colony is gone.

Because the ozone layer is going away the sun is brighter therefore the bees use their eyes to find food and the sun is blinding them so then they cant find food and get lost so then all of the other bees in the hive never get fed so they're starving to death now they are finding bee hives full of dead bees it's just sad:[

There aren't any real theories on what's going on, nobody really knows.. but it's called "colony collapse" or something to that nature. It could be a pollutant, or something to that effect... but no one is really sure what's going on. And the bees pollinate 70% of the food that is harvested. So I think we should like... clone bees?

Darwinian mathematic's, revenge, life of all planet creature's are subject to earth and life. So the bee's we loved are getting killed by other bee's, same as us american's killing arab's, there population is going down fast, and it will last for awhile because DUBYA wan'ts them to know our superiority, as some bee's are cannibalistic as our great leader. I know it is not kosher to say such intelligence could happen to some animal's, such as bee's but think about the analogy, we kill islamic's, bee's kill to avenge a wrong at will, the whole ecological world is like so. Darwin.....

nicely i think we can all study to savour Fruit Bat's alot extra, maximum of people haven't any clue as to how plenty the Fruit Bat does for us, between pollinating vegetation and eating bugs he's 2d to none, Granted he will possibly no longer seem so particularly yet he does a great pastime at nighttime whilst your slumbering, The Bee's may be a brilliant loss yet there are different creatures available that could desire to help.

With the modern technologies used in farming, the bees are having less chances to pollinate and reproduce.

Colony Collapse Disorder
Hard to say. Not much evidence to go on right now, and a bit too early to point to a certain cause.
