The phenomenon that has been happening is called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Mostly who is to blame is EPA, and Monsanto. What has been killing millions of bees are neonicotinoids, neuroactive chemicals related to nicotine being used as pesticides. Were you aware of seeds being pretreated with the chemicals and that the chemicals can travel much farther than just the general planting site? I knew that seeds are being pretreated with these chemicals, but not that the chemicals could travel much farther than the planting site.

Bees pollinate roughly 25% of the food that Americans consume, and the honey is also used in a lot of health and beauty products. Bees are very important to mankind. Shouldn't we all stand up against the agri-chemical companies to save the bees? Yes
