What's up with the bees?

Question

I didn't know whether to put this in biology or zoology. A while back eveyone was like "The bee's are dying, the bee's are dying, without them to pollinate crops we will all die!" No one know why it was happening. They had a name for it that I can't think of right now, something like Hive Death Syndrome or something like that. I haven't heard anything about it for a while. Have the bees made a comeback?

Answer 3

The problem has been blown way out of proportion.  The die offs are occurring with commercially grown honey bees.  There is really little to worry about.  The honey bee is not native to North America.  They were introduced, and illegally, the are actually an invasive species.  Before honey bees were introduce, flowering plants were pollinated by native bees and many other insects.

It seems to me a few folks in the honey bee business managed to start a big uproar over something that is not all that important.

Answer 4

My uncle has a lot of beehives and each year tons of them die. We think it is the climate change but who really knows?

Answer 5

I think you are refering to 'Colony Collapse disorder'. I can't remember what it is, but I know it has something to do with the sudden decrease in the bee population due to unknown causes.
