Answer 3

There is a virus that has germinated in the greenhouse bees and it has been released into the wild. There is the poisons that we have been dusting our crops with for about fifty or so years and they have finally caught up with the insects. We have no cure for this. We are in big trouble.

The bees are responsible for a third of mankind's foodstuff! A THIRD!

They are also responsible for a great amount of food for other animals that we depend on for food. The insect is dying off and we have ourselves to blame. They cannot withstand the onslaught of the chemical fertilizers we have used for decades now. Their immune systems have failed them and the hives are dying at an alarming rate.

Unless we mend what we have done to those insects as quickly as possible they could be wiped out.

If you think this is impossible, then I would suggest you look at the history of the "Passenger Pigeon". They were so numerous that a flock of them migrating actually did block out the sun for a whole day. That's how many of them we had. The feathers of the pigeon were valued for ladies hats and we killed them for aesthetics if you can believe that.

What's happening to the bees is our own fault. Like the loss of the Passenger Pigeon, is our fault.
